Description
What happens when a girl from the majority society falls in love with a Romani? The captivating story of sixteen-year-old Denisa, who bravely follows the voice of her heart despite her surroundings, captivates with its sincerity and urgency. The book touches on important issues of our time, such as respect, understanding, and the relationships between generations or between students and teachers, alongside Czech-Romani relations. Fresh out of high school, Denisa is also a passionate volleyball player, and the entire novella flows like a volleyball match, from the sometimes tedious but necessary training sessions to the alternately won and lost games, culminating in a successful finale crowned with a medal. Petra Indrová's literary debut is an immensely needed mirror of prejudices, selfishness, and indifference that each of us grapples with to some extent. A mirror all the more valuable because even in the gloom of overcast days, it reflects the glimmering rays of light and hope.
