Description
A sentimental novel is not a novel, and certainly not sentimental. It is rough and sharp like a sharpened boot. Two people, two narrators, one day, two places, and two encounters with death become the trigger for a montage of memories, experiences, flawed conclusions, and crooked mirrors. He becomes the bearer of bad news, while she must deal with the family inheritance... We follow two stories that intersect at one moment and continue together. Their lives resemble a road lined with the carcasses of run-over animals; they are filled with missed opportunities, moral failures, unfulfilled ambitions — and above all, they lack love. The vanishing point of their existence is the talented Eliška, who disappeared from them on the eve of her graduation from the academy fifteen years ago. The first book by the author of the acclaimed novel Lake (Magnesia Litera — Book of the Year 2017, European Union Prize for Literature 2017).
