«La dona silenciosa» is the historical novel by Monika Zgustova, published by Quaderns Crema in paperback (424 pages, in Catalan).
Sylva, a reserved woman of aristocratic origin, recalls in her old age the Prague occupied by the Nazis and later subjected to the communist regime. Her life has been marked by a loveless marriage, the loss of her loved ones and the forced exile of her only son; only memories and the hope of seeing again an old love, deported to the gulags, ease her disillusionment.
The book belongs to the Biblioteca Mínima collection (no. 155). First edition published in 2005.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction and contemporary European narrative interested in memory, exile and twentieth-century Prague.
Monika Zgustová is a Czech writer and translator. She is a key figure in the introduction of Czech literature in Spain, translating into Spanish and Catalan.
