Looks like an interesting book! I’ve never read anything set in Czechoslovakia.
This does sound really good, especially the setting.
I am interested in this book because of the setting, Bohemia. My friends’ family are from this country and gave me a woodcut of Jan Huss’s house. I don’t think, that I have read any books that take place in this country.
I haven’t read much Central European-set fiction, so this interests me for that reason in addition to the seemingly quite dramatic plot! Thanks Teddy. Cheers, Kara S
This finally arrived today. Thank you, Teddy!
The e-copy, that was sent, has an ! after each word. Is it supposed to be like this? It is irritating to read.
