This sweeping family saga covers Slovakia's history from 1938 to the early 2000s. The novel explores the way the pressure of history makes a decent but weak man harm the people around him, skilfully weaving into the narrative extracts from authentic period documents ranging from advertisements to poetry and diaries.
