Known in the first decades of her career as a poet, in 2002 she achieved immediate success as a writer of prose with the publication of her novel A kígyó árnyéka (The Serpent’s Shadow), soon followed by her second novel, A hullócsillag éve (2005, The Year of the Falling Star). Rakovszky has also won acclaim as a literary translator, translating both prose and poetry from English into Hungarian.
