About the book THE WOMAN WHO FORGOT TO CRY

autor Mihaela CD

After numerous volumes of poetry, short stories, literary reviews, articles, essays, and collections of aphorisms composed of reflections and motivational statements, the writer Mihaela CD surprises us once again—this time with the story of her first novel, THE WOMAN WHO FORGOT TO CRY.

AURELIA RINJEA

”A book that invites reflection and the exploration of the profound meanings behind the emotions of a strong woman on her surprising journey toward personal happiness. The subject is timely, approached in a unique manner, with a confessional style that leans into the psychological. It delivers wise life lessons for readers of all ages and succeeds in pulling us out of the chaos of today’s world, sweeping us into the whirlwind of the characters’ inner worlds. This is a literary creation that deserves all our attention and appreciation. What the author ultimately wishes to convey is that love brings us closer, unites, creates empathy, builds, and offers itself to the point of self-identification. Love generates emotional states that elevate the human spirit. Love is learned through living it. It is the love of self—the core of one’s being, the loop of deep truth that connects us to the Divine within and in others. The message that emerges from between the lines is: You must fight! This is a book about life as a struggle, about hope and faith in God—our constant companion in dialogue and spirit. It is said that in youth, at the age of love, writers choose poetry, while in maturity, they turn to the novel. I find that Mihaela CD’s literary maturity expresses itself fully in every literary genre. She is a distinctive voice in contemporary literature, with a unique, authentic, and fully assumed style. We thank the author for this spiritual journey—this voyage through the human soul—which once again proves that love stands above all and must be given freely.”

JOHNNY CIATLOS DEAK

”THE WOMAN WHO FORGOT TO CRY is the kind of book you recommend to a friend, the kind of novel that lingers in your memory—you never forget it. It possesses the purity of simplicity, of warm and clear language that flows effortlessly. Nothing feels forced, nothing seems implausible. Even the dreams that appear in the novel are presented so naturally that they become tangible realities. Our lives—both as a whole and in their individual moments—could be the subject of a novel. The key is that the novel must be well written, not boring, but engaging, drawing the reader into its world. Because in the end, how we write makes all the difference. Without revealing the plot of the novel, I want to emphasize that this book, too, offers moral lessons, one of the signature traits of Mihaela CD’s writing, found throughout her aphorisms, poetry, articles, and essays. Mihaela CD’s words are tiny fireflies of light, resting gently on the pages to illuminate hearts and minds. I warmly invite you to enter the universe of the novel THE WOMAN WHO FORGOT TO CRY and delight in the radiance of Mihaela CD’s words.”

ANA MUNTEANU DRAGHICI

”In terms of expressive means and artistic transfiguration, the poetic expressions—what researcher and professor Dorin Ștefănescu would call “the art of inhabiting truth”—are ever present. The features of realist fiction are evident in Mihaela CD’s novel. The balance between truth and fiction, her personal approach to a life period, calls to mind Balzac’s A Woman of Thirty. The characters are depicted in all their complexity, with their psychological traits shifting depending on their environment. Their actions, language, and interpersonal relationships individualize them, painted with a storyteller’s eye and a painter’s brush. Given the dominant realist nature of the novel, the objectivity and dynamic narrative bring to mind the Transylvanian depth found in Ion by Liviu Rebreanu. The novelist’s style reveals: “The art of knowledge, made through words, practicing diversity through reality.” If Ana became The Woman Who Forgot How to Cry, then, dear lovers of books, I urge you: do not forget to read this fascinating novel, skillfully crafted by the writer MIHAELA CD!”

GABRIELA RAUCA

„The Woman Who Forgot to Cry” is a captivating book in which the reader can immerse themselves, forgetting, during the moments of reading, the world around them. A book that, without exaggeration, “squeezes tears,” evokes pain and sadness, but also smiles and hope. A novel worthy of being read and savored in all its splendor, an exceptional creation by writer Mihaela CD, who once again managed to impress with her talent.”

ANGELA DUMBRAVA

”Mihaela CD presents a narrative with cinematic potential, infusing it with meaningful messages that offer the reader a lesson in love, inner light, and the power that awakens within us when we are knocked down. The book is beautifully embroidered in an artistic sense, thanks to the author’s original vision. Behind each scene in the novel, the characters’ lives unfold in seemingly repetitive patterns—yet each fictional passage contains deeply real aspects that could very well happen to any reader. The novel’s construction is complex. Carefully guided, the plot provides an exciting perspective for both the writer and the reader. The words are well chosen, appropriate for the environments in which the characters live and act. The text communicates its ideas clearly and precisely, but not simplistically—it is filled with nuance, intriguing detail, and often surprising turns.”

LACRIMIOARA IVA 

”Mihaela CD’s novel opens the mind and heals… because through the life stories of her characters, she connects us to the world, offering us models of identification or stimuli to escape certain forms of inner discomfort. The author allows us to travel and take part in “Ana’s world” so we may discover its depths. It is a journey that will help us understand, encouraging us to embrace diversity. Along this journey, we gather experiences, hope blooms within us, and we gain the certainty that… “everything will be all right.”. Mihaela CD writes in detail, never predictably. Her writing is so intense and precise that the “action” seems to unfold like a film. Moreover, the plot develops with many twists and keeps you in suspense, revealing what it means to be powerless when destiny unleashes its fury. Will Ana accept or resist its supremacy?”

AL FLORIN TENE

”The debut novel of the talented poet Mihaela CD—an excellent and tireless cultural promoter—is a fresco of a woman’s destiny, not coincidentally named Ana, evoking the Romanian ballad of Meșterul Manole.The author “walls in,” through words, the fate of this woman over the course of 17 chapters. The Woman Who Forgot How to Cry is built like a monastery, through a succession of cinematic, episodic events—independent of the protagonist’s will. Reading this compelling novel, in which the author develops a tragic subject, I recalled the words of a great Romanian poet who once said: “Never build churches in the soul of a woman.” (…)And yet, Mihaela CD has succeeded in building within this woman a monastery of destiny. Mihaela CD tightens the narrative thread to its highest tension, recounting Ana’s fate. The subject is further complicated by the factor of consanguinity, allowing for the psychological portrayal of characters in the manner of the ancient Greek tragedians, transferring this Hellenic drama into the cinematic sequences of a Transylvanian village bathed by the Someș River—a place where history has borne witness to acute and painful events, shaped by local customs.”
