U vs je vdycky tak stran ticho Schrder Alena (2026)

There are many ways to tell a story, but only one changes everything. In Ildingen in the 1950s, Evelna Borowsk has everything she once dreamed of: a house with a garden, a caring husband and her long-awaited daughter, Silvia. Yet she is unhappy, misses her work as a doctor and feels like an outsider in the small southern German town. Her friend and sister-in-law Betti also causes trouble with her sharp tongue and reckless driving. In 1989, as Berlin is filled with a sense of new beginnings, Silvia Borowsk takes a step backwards. Driving a stolen VW Polo from West Berlin towards the south, she carries her several-week-old daughter Hana in a laundry basket on the passenger seat. She has had enough of life in a squat, and the childs father wants nothing to do with her. What awaits her in the provincial town she left so abruptly years ago, and how will her mother Evelna receive her? This Czech-language novel by Alena Schrder reveals what remained hidden in her acclaimed debut novel, The Girl in the Blue Dress in the Evening Light.
