Miesta v sieti

In this autobiographically inspired novel three generations of women from one family speak to the reader in turn: grandmother Jolana, her daughter Alica and her granddaughter Verona. Looking at the sad but brave lives of the older women, Verona tries to come to terms with her own sorrows and confusion and to find her 'place in the nets' and a balance within herself. Their voices bring back the colours, smells and tastes of a world long gone and its many characters, great-grandparents among them, along with the small and large tragedies of family life and the intrusions of history: war and totalitarian rule. When the women lose everything and are left alone, they must find the courage to go on living and care for those close to them. Fathers, living or dead, present or departed, shape their fates.
