Pavla, the heroine of the generational novel "We Take What Is", was born after World War II. Her grandparents, brickmakers from the suburbs of Vienna, accepted President Beneš's call to Czech expatriates and returned to their homeland. She was conceived by a nineteen-year-old Viennese girl and a similarly young Slovak, while her father had to enlist in the army and behaved like any immature young man unconcerned with contraception. The young mother divorced and remarried, this time to a typical good-natured man. During her adolescence, much to her mother's dismay, Pavla mirrors the appearance and nature of her rejected progenitor. After graduating from high school, instead of further studies, she faces factory work. She escapes from home to avoid the manifestations of psychopathic hysteria and kitchen matriarchy, finding refuge among oddballs and the city's outcast figures. A dramatic relationship with a bohemian and drunkard ends with her hospitalization in a psychiatric facility. Finally, she travels to her father's region, experiences the joy of acceptance and the intoxication of the Slovak Paradise landscape, but her longing for Prague forces her to leave.
