Science Fiction
Mara is translator. In her Greenwich Village apartment she successfully renders her native Czech into best-selling English, until one fine night she notices alarming similarities between her own Prague childhood and a ‘brilliant novel’ by a rising young star of Czech literature. Making contact with the author, Mara realises that he had been the protégé – perhaps lover – of her now dead novelist mother.

As the layers of deception in the lives of Mara, her mother and the young author are steadily revealed, the boundaries between literary creation and lived experience begin to evaporate...
