Description
Have you ever asked yourself what your life would be like if everything had turned out differently in November 1989? What would our fates have been if communism had not ended and we remained behind the Iron Curtain, separating us from the world and from each other? One of the most successful Czech writers, Alena Mornštajnová, surprises once again. Her new novel is a dramatic story of an ordinary family torn apart by the great history of one November night and set against each other. We follow the story of Marie Hajná, who is arrested and sentenced to twenty years in prison for participating in demonstrations. She knows she will probably never see her children grow up, and only letters keep her alive. And also the hope that they might eventually reunite. Alongside this, the story of a girl named Magdalena unfolds, who is taken from her parents and placed in a 'sanatorium' where new communist cadres are raised. Their fates will intersect one day, but in a completely different way than they both imagined and wished for. From the author of the bestseller Hana.
