Ty chladné oči
Author: Scarlett Wilková
11,96 €
Russian girl Neonila meets Emil, a young Czech forced to fight in the Wehrmacht, in occupied Smolensk. Their shared life continues in postwar Czechoslovakia, shadowed by fear of being labeled collaborators.
About the book
The end of fighting does not end the past. Fear shapes what they can say, whom they trust, and how they treat others. Uniform and origin invite simple judgments about experiences that are far more complicated.
Scarlett Wilková also examines the boundary between self-protection and cruelty. Wartime coercion explains the difficulty of choices, but the novel asks whether it can justify harming others.
