The first and only comprehensive documentary novel about the greatest Czech-Slovak chanson singer. It was created with her consent, with the condition that it could only be published after her death. She avoided such exposure throughout her career. She consistently defended her privacy. She only allowed the author, who was one of her closest friends, to enter it. From 2011, when she ended her career, until her last moments in March 2021, he became her confessor. He recorded dozens of hours of interviews, had access to her privacy, archive materials and personal correspondence, to Hana Hegerová's family, and was also one of the first to see her court files. He traveled and mapped all the places associated with her life, talking to almost a hundred people who worked with her or were in closer contact at some point in her life story. He collected a large number of photographs and documents, which are published in the book for the first time. There wasn't a topic they didn't want to talk about. Here, for the first time, she openly talks about her childhood under the Slovak fascist state, which marked her for the rest of her life, as well as about her stay in a refugee camp, identity changes, communist crime and other, so far unknown, events in her life. Also about privacy, connected with incredible ups and downs, reflecting the events of the last ninety years... One of her last phone calls when she decided to die belonged to the author of this book. He was also the only one to give a eulogy at the final farewell to Hana Hegerová in the closest family circle. The range and truthfulness, thanks to Hana Hegerová's personal trust in the author, resulted in a testimony that no other author has the opportunity to bring.
