GOLDEN - the German edition of Adriana’s most recent book, was release in March 2018 at the Leipzig Book Fair. The volume, summing up five years of reading and life experience in over 50 miniatures, was met by the critics with the words: “The whole volume is characterized by stylistic fluidity, which transgresses the genre barriers, coagulating itself in a homogenous product, where the clarity of the text is permeated by subtle poetical currents.”
