Beschreibung
Lila and Marie are sisters, yet they couldn't be more different. While Lila is beautiful, spontaneous, loves to take risks, and easily manipulates people, Marie is quiet, introverted, and shy. However, both are hiding something, and their relationship is burdened by secrets. Robert meets them at a subtropical resort, where he has come to escape the stress and guilt caused by his divorce, and also to write an essay on cowardice. He becomes enchanted by both sisters and gets entangled in their peculiar, mysterious relationship. What trauma has marked their relationship? Why are they so dependent on each other? Why does Lila recklessly gamble with her life? And is there something more serious behind Marie's reticence? The surprising prose debut of Respekt magazine editor Martin Uhlíř recalls the classic novels of the 1960s. In contemporary Czech literature, an author with exceptional psychological insight emerges, critically examining relationships from a male perspective.
