Description
She was only stuck in her story and felt ashamed of it, not wanting to tell it to anyone. Will a woman my age still interest anyone? wonders again and again the forty-seven-year-old literature lecturer Marie, who has been forced by circumstances to withdraw into isolation. A banal tragicomedy has caught up with her, one she has read and lectured on a thousand times as a specialist, but after her husband's betrayal and her adult daughter's departure, she is experiencing this cliché firsthand. When she returns to Krumlov in the summer to help her sick parents and reconcile with her quietly aggressive sister, she tries to search for the reasons why she has become so uprooted and alienated on this rescue mission into her own past. But who can she confide in here, when her rural peers behave like Stroupežnický's furiants calling down thunder and lightning on the intruder from Prague, and the well-read boy from the Krumlov bookstore is desperately young? The psychological novel by a sought-after Czech author, like the lament of Rybí krev, subtly empathizes with a woman in crisis. With a light summer tone, Jiří Hájíček masks a persistent interest in the traumas of his native region and adds a serious theme that has intrigued many a classic of world fiction: how to restart life when a 180-degree turn is not possible?
