I definitely enjoyed it. It's written beautifully, characters produced my compassion and ending came too soon. Cover review is a little bit confusing. It's not a thriller and I wouldn't call the relationships between two girls here "an unusual love story". Sounds too cheap to me. And all happened not in unknown mysterious place with a coast but in Prague. I would call this book autobiographic to some point knowing the personal story of Zdena. If you are interested in dissident movement in Czechoslovakia during the Communists and want to see it from the personal prospective - it's your book. Bravo, Zdena!
