About the book
After the war, people in the Beskydy Mountains try to resume everyday life, but the past remains close. Some experienced danger from occupiers and groups moving through the mountains. Živa, Ludmila, Slávek, Ondráš and Karel share experiences they cannot always name openly.
Public ideas of heroism may not reflect everything that happened. The author examines the gap between individual memory and the version of the past created by a village. Love, loss, unfulfilled dreams and decisions bring consequences that emerge later.
The mountainous landscape of Moravian Wallachia is an important backdrop. The novel asks how trust can be restored after tragedy and how far we may judge choices made under threat. It is a fictional treatment of a historical atmosphere, rather than a documentary record.
