My wife bought this one in London, read it and passed it graciously to me for the trip home. ( )

Kristyna is a 42 year old divorced dentist in Prague whose life has been shaped by the holocaust and how it affected her parents, both individually and generationally. "In a world where enormous shower rooms are built just to poison people, life can never be the same again."

She has an ex-husband dying of cancer and a manipulative teenage daughter on hard drugs, although it takes her way too long to figure that out. She also has trust issues when it comes to men.

This is an introspective novel that ponders the effect of evil on the generations that follow. ( )

Takes place in Prague and centers on a divorced Mom and her teenage daughter. Real slice of life that gathers momentum over time. Makes the reader appreciate the small things in life. ( )
