Description
This collection of Czech short stories explores the secrets people refuse or are unable to reveal. Anna would never admit to her mother that her husband is, to put it mildly, not as perfect a man as her father, whom she never knew, while Lucie will say nothing at all about the father of her unborn child. Mr. Gruss insists that the gatehouse of Šternberk Palace must be locked and out of operation between midnight and one in the morning, whereas Milada has refused to let anyone into the palace school chapel for countless years. For the narrator of Jaroslav Rudiš’s story, it is a mystery what happened the previous evening and why tomatoes from a nearby convenience store are hanging from a bush on his balcony, while for Tomáš Marek Epstein, it is his new phone. And how are the Jewish cemetery in Mikulov and little Ester’s first baby tooth connected? The contents are in Czech.
