Odděleně spolu?
Autoři hledají odpovědi na otázku, jak se v době samostatné existence obou zemí měnily hodnotové orientace jejich obyvatel. Do jisté míry zpochybňují platnost modernizační teorie R. Ingleharta, že ekonomický růst povede k růstu sociálního bezpečí a odpovídajícím hodnotovým strukturám. Ukazují, že obě společnosti charakterizuje nelineární vývoj hodnot. Češi a Slováci se v části hodnotového spektra od sebe vzdalují ale v řadě hodnotových otázek mají k sobě stejně blízko jako na počátku 90. let.

Umelkyňa s henou
Sedemnásťročná Lakšmí unikne z dohodnutého manželstva plného násilia, opustí rodnú dedinu a sama sa vydá do ružového mesta Džajpur, kde sa venuje maľovaniu henou. Stane sa vyhľadávanou umelkyňou i dôverníčkou bohatých žien z vyššej spoločnosti. Zverujú sa jej s rôznymi tajomstvami, ale ona si tie svoje prezieravo stráži.
Lakšmí, povestná svojimi jedinečnými kresbami a múdrymi radami, tvrdo pracuje, aby si splnila sen a dosiahla nezávislosť. Vyhýba sa neprajníckym klebetám, ktoré by jej mohli zničiť dobrú povesť a kariéru. Jedného dňa však nečakane znova stojí tvárou v tvár manželovi - po dlhých rokoch ju vyhľadal spolu s jej temperamentnou mladšou sestrou, o ktorej Lakšmí nič netušila. Jej starostlivo vybudovaný život sa ocitne v ohrození, ale Lakšmí sa nevzdáva. Začne väčšmi využívať svoje liečiteľské schopnosti a dávať nádej tým, ktorí to potrebujú.
Román Umelkyňa s henou podmanivým spôsobom približuje vytrvalú snahu ženy žiť slobodný a naplnený život v spoločnosti, kde na seba ustavične narážajú tradície a potreba modernizácie. Súčasne umožňuje čitateľovi vrátiť sa do 50-tych rokov minulého storočia a ponoriť sa do exotického, čarovného sveta Indie plného rôznorodých chutí, vôní a farieb, ktorý však vie byť aj mimoriadne krutý a nemilosrdný.
