Ostrov – Lexová Markéta Biri (2022)

Dealing with adverse fate, a breakup, an injury, or the death of loved ones is undoubtedly a significant impact on the human mind or soul, forcing individuals to pause, go through a phase of mourning, self-discovery, and catharsis. This reality is even stronger in cases where you lose a beloved brother, sister, or parent. Markéta Biri Lexová presents a spiritually attuned story in which the main character, Ester, embarks on her mystical journey. She tries to cope with her brother's death and seeks answers in nature. With her friends, she travels through the mountains, living in harmony with nature, not just formally, but truly in its rawest form. In her imagination, she plunges into various intertwined astral worlds that continuously blend with reality. Markéta Biri Lexová brilliantly describes the dark corners of human existence. It is a very mature perspective with a view of oneself, transcending the mystical story. The book, with its depth and intimacy, touches each of us in a certain way. Everyone walks their own path in life. If your path has heart, you are going in the right direction. I believe Markéta has successfully fulfilled this message.
