I am looking for a book/books by a female Polish author. I have read it/them a long time ago and I have a very hard time recalling any details, so I will try to give the most information I still remember. I am confident to a high degree that those works were published during the socialist period in Poland or very closely around that time. I have read the Bulgarian translation of the works. It was one physical book which contained two entirely seperate stories, so I suppose those are unrelataed works and in Poland could be published seperately. Both of them were around 100 pages each, and I have some memory of them having really short titles, like only one word. One of them was regarding two lovers. I think the woman was cold to the man, she was sort of superior to him in the relationship. There was a murder attempt from one of them to kill the other one, and the story ended in a scene with some recalled memories of the crime on the hospital bed or something of that sort.The second one I recall even less memories about. It was about some small town/village and the protagonist was a young woman. I think it included some old man, possibly an old doctor. I think there was some element about people in the town gossiping and protagonists trying to hide from their eyes.This seems to be all I remember.I pretty much went through all wikipedia articles of female authord in Poland but had no luck finding it, I suppose since it was translated and published in another country it should not be so niche that no one knows it.
Although I haven't stumbled upon the books you are describing, I'm pretty sure the author is Joanna Chmielewska. Check out her wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Chmielewska
