Description
A journey to family roots, personal identity, and new hope. ***** The author maps the tumultuous fates of her family, a family of Romanian Slovaks, who return to Czechoslovakia after World War II, to the harsh Sudetenland, with the promise of property from expelled Germans and better tomorrows. Against the backdrop of turbulent historical events unfold even more tumultuous stories of love, passion, addiction, injustice, and forgiveness. ***** And all those stories she heard in her childhood, and all the memories she keeps of them, ultimately culminate in the idea of embarking on a journey 'into the past,' to her roots. Thus, she sets off with her mother Bety, who nurtured her through the troubled history of the Bigas family, in a rattling car to distant Romania. And like detectives, they find lost places and relatives, familiar names, new fates, and hopes.
