Tereza, nicknamed Panda, returns home after a breakup. For her thesis, she studies the diaries of Marie, a woman associated with the anti-communist resistance. Her research gradually reveals unknown parts of her own family history.
About the book
In the present, Tereza faces psychological difficulties, a complicated relationship with her mother, and the challenge of finishing school. The historical strand follows Marie, who helped Tereza’s great-grandfather Jaroslav in the early 1950s and recorded events in her diaries.
