What is Když světlo projde špínou, zůstane čisté about?
The novel opens in 1968, when an eighteen-year-old girl starts work at a theater in Kolín. This setting becomes the starting point for a story unfolding as Czechoslovak society undergoes fundamental political and social changes. The supplier states that the author wrote the main section, covering 1968–1992, around twenty years before publication. Its original working title was Když jsme všichni měli doma komouše. A text written by the author in 2011 confirms that she was working on the manuscript and planned to revise it before publication. Google Books records the finished novel as published by Beskydy in 2013, with 396 pages in print. SOURCE_FACT lists 400 pages for this particular electronic edition; this is a difference between formats rather than a reason to replace the supplier’s figure. The novel brings together a young woman’s personal story, the theater, and life from 1968 through the early 1990s.
