Hana
Author: Alena Mornštajnová
11,96 €
Hana by Alena Mornštajnová traces a family's history through the experiences of a girl named Mira and her withdrawn aunt. An act of childhood disobedience in the winter of 1954 unexpectedly connects with a tragedy that changes Mira's life. The novel explores guilt, chance, and the consequences of the past.
Despite being forbidden to do so, nine-year-old Mira goes to the river to play on the ice floes. When she falls into the water, her parents punish her by withholding dessert at a family celebration. This ordinary incident precedes events that connect her life with her aunt Hana's.
Her silent relative carries a burden of her own. As the family history gradually unfolds, it changes the way readers see both Hana's behavior and Mira's situation. Mornštajnová develops a fictional story inspired by real events, raising questions about suffering, responsibility, and the possibility of understanding another person.
The book explores these main themes:
Family history – Hidden events affect the next generation's life.
Guilt and chance – The characters deal with the consequences of events that are not entirely within their control.
Silence – An experience that is difficult to put into words accompanies Mira and Hana's relationship.
