“Monika Zgustova’s concerns are close to my own: the fate of the individual in the hands of totalitarianism. She is an outstanding writer whose fiction invokes the politics and culture of people throughout history.” —Vaclav Havel
“In a unique voice that owes as much to Kundera as to Flaubert, to Hasek as to Tolstoy, Czech writer Monika Zgustova brings to life the stories of three remarkable women in different countries and eras who defied the social restrictions of their day to find freedom of creative and personal expression.” —Juan Goytisolo
