The book is a work of fiction, a memory revisited, reconstructed, rethought and rewritten. The inspiration for writing the book was the life under totalitarian regime of former Czechoslovakia filled with emotional and existential difficulties. Not surprisingly, the characters find themselves in on-going conflicts with the excessive, often violent powers if sexual or political. Under the dominating powers, they struggle to achieve their political, sexual or personal freedom, often at high cost.
