"Böske, Erzsi, Erzsébet" by Ferenc Herczeg is a novel written in the early 20th century. The storyline focuses on the relationships and emotional turmoil within a family, primarily exploring the characters of Jankó, Böskét, and Erzsi as they navigate childhood, grief, and complex bonds among themselves and the adults around them. It highlights themes of love, loss, and the innocence of youth, framed within a poignant, domestic setting. At the start of
the narrative, we are introduced to Jankó, a boy consumed by his affection for his mother and a neighbor girl, Bözsi. The family is shrouded in a somber atmosphere following the death of a beloved aunt, with Jankó's mother preoccupied with her grief. The arrival of Bözsi brings a brief spark of life into their world, as her playful nature contrasts sharply with the melancholy that dominates Jankó's household. As Jankó yearns for connection with his mother, the chapters hint at the complexities of childhood friendships and rivalries, revealing layers of emotional depth that set the tone for later developments in their relationships.
