The Edge of Belonging

By Charlie Brackett

Jarek longs to go home but cannot; Frantisek schemes and grabs for power, which appears just out of reach; Zuzka continues to look for her love, a love she deserves but cannot find; and Father Pavel prays for purity in his sinful flesh and spirituality in a secular Church. Set in the mid-14th century, the fast paced action and cultural flavor of The Edge of Belonging unfolds the daily struggles to belong of four characters whose goals are different, but whose paths intermingle as they move around today's Czech Republic. From the simplicity of common life to the halls of nobility, from the secular to the spiritual, from the simplistic to the academic, and from the real to the mythical, their experiences reflect life as it was in a time and place and among people who strongly influenced later history. Their stories, wrapped in the intriguing "Golden Age" of Czech history and culture, is rich in suspense, historical facts, cultural flavor, and entertainment.
