Ženy aj muži, zvieratá

Thirteen stories lay bare what people try hard not to see, the ugly and dark sides of their lives, alongside nostalgia for childhood, the smell of cut grass and things long forgotten. The characters are each lonely in their own way: caught in broken or dysfunctional relationships, in relationships just starting to fall apart, or carrying traumas from the past. A teenage girl on a housing estate tries to grow up despite her family; ageing men and women live with experiences the reader can only guess at. Much is left unsaid, shown in glimpses and fragments behind which strong motives and feelings can be sensed.
