The sunny side of life has its shadows. Or at least that is what the heroines of three stories in Martina Formanová's new book are convinced of. Against the backdrop of an exclusive, closed circle of 'better society' in the Anglophone part of the state of Connecticut, they are searching for their own version of the American dream, which seems - in their case - so within reach. They just need to overcome their own minor imperfections, doubts, and past. A goal that sometimes proves to be as unattainable as from any other place on the planet. Following her successful debut 'The Composer of Scented Laundry', Martina Formanová presents another equally intriguing novella about contemporary America. Martina Formanová hails from Brno, studied at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts, and currently lives with her family in the United States.
