Description
I'll tell you what you don't know. I'll tell you what I've been hiding from you all along, what I thought and what I felt. But we'll also remind ourselves of what we know. It will be fun.
Thirty-something Laura tells her story. The story of a fourteen-year-old girl who was taken by an older teacher in a children's home. She talks about abandoned children who must settle for a measured portion of love, about a strong friendship with the tough girl Marie, and about life in the border town of Aš. The past intertwines with Laura's current life as an exclusive prostitute and her burning thoughts of revenge.
Miřenka Čechová reflects in her new novel on the simplicity with which one can manipulate others, questioning where the boundary lies between what can be forgiven and what cannot, and whether revenge is a just punishment. At the same time, she plays with a new literary form – a stylized audio recording.
