Hardcover. Etat : Fair. Unterschrift / Widmung ohne Bezug; Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nässe. A spunky young woman strives to escape from the social customs and cultural restraints that have spanned three political regimes: in a privileged childhood spent in the Czechoslovakian countryside prior to World War II, as a schoolgirl during the Nazi occupation, and as an adolescent and young adult witnessing the diminishing promise of communist rule.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. A fine copy in a near-fine jacket. A clean, tight copy with price ($19.95) intact on front flap. Vertical crease to front flap of an otherwise fine jacket. Very light waterstaining to jacket front cover and front flap. This is the author's first book. "Sovakova lovingly conveys fleeting moments of a small child's world in pre-World War II Czechoslovakia and her imagistic writing works well in the longer sections of this novel, the drab world of Stalinist Eastern Europe. -- Los Angeles Times".
