The true life story of two young people, Anna and Karel, will make both the young and older generations think. Nothing will prevent a young Czech gendarmerie from falling in love with a beautiful and educated Sudeten German woman, whom he will eventually bring to the Czechoslovak hinterland. What does Anna experience in a completely foreign environment without greater knowledge of Czech, family and friends? And what leads Karel to join the resistance right after the occupation? Where do the two young people find the strength, one to die and the other to live? Their granddaughter unravels these and other questions in her book with a rich picture appendix, first from the point of view of a little girl and later of a mature woman. A certain amount of curiosity about the end of a somewhat unusual story marked by the war years will force you to read the book in one breath.
