Jarka Kubsova, In the Light of the New Day

Finally, a new book by Jarka Kubsova, one of our favorite authors. The author of the novels *Bergland* and *Marschlande* has written a deeply moving story in her new book, which this time is set deep in the Bohemian forests and in which the fates of two courageous women are interwoven in a fairy-tale-like manner:

When the writer Elli Hajek retreats to a secluded house to write, she recalls acharacterher Czech grandmother once told her about: Viktorka, the young woman who was declared insane after a traumatic event and lived alone in the Bohemian forest from then on. When Elli learns that Viktorka really existed, she travels to the country she herself fled as a child. But once there, she must first confront her own repressed history.

In a fairy-tale-like, beautiful, exciting, and captivating story, Jarka Kubsova tells of a young woman searching for her homeland—a truly delightful read!
