Třicátý kilometr - Román o osudových křižovatkách a životě bez navigace – Dubská Kateřina (2023)

Miroslav longs to escape. But where to find the courage? Tomáš misses his wife, so he seeks comfort in the most bizarre places. Nina is filled with sorrow. And that leads her back to herself in a roundabout way. Ivana wants only one thing – to not end up like her mother! And Lukáš? He’s pushing the pedal as hard as he can. No one had time to tell him that sometimes it’s best to slow down. ***** At the thirtieth kilometer, the threads of life intertwine, so familiar as if we know their characters from the neighborhood. The fates of several generations deeply emerge from our present and the world we live in. In a cleverly composed kaleidoscope of stories, life realities collide so distinctly that nothing but a hard crash can result. And that always raises questions... Where do our decisions truly stem from? What imprints have those who tried to raise us left on us? And who draws the trajectories of our lives – ourselves or fate? Kateřina Dubská's novel does not offer salvation in the form of a life navigation app to download to your phone, but it offers hope that we can always make the right turn or hit the brakes.
