Review
'One of the leading Czech writers of the Kundera generation... Klima's prose is controlled and rueful. This is a novel of gently delivered wisdoms, played around a very human drama of tenderness and vulnerability' Independent on Sunday 'This hig, clever, generous book is Ivan Klima's best yet' Times Literary Supplement 'He has a quiet, clear style paying forensic attention to the causes of happiness and misery, making him peculiarly absorbing... A highly intelligent novel' Sunday Tribune 'A fascinating read' Independent 'Klima's thoughtful novel ends with delicate cogency, as a tribute to human resilience' Sunday Times

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition; First Printing. About new but for thin name to front endpaper; in crisp DJ. ; 0.93 x 8.55 x 5.77 Inches; 272 pages; Ivan Klima has long been cited among such masters as Milan Kundera and Vaclav Havel, and on the publication of Lovers for a Day, The Boston Globe praised him as "a writer at the top of his form." Now Klima takes us again into the heart of contemporary Prague, in a story where the Communist People's Militia marches headlong into the drug culture of the present. Kristyna is in her forties, the divorced mother of a rebellious fifteen-year-old daughter, Jana. She is beginning to love a man fifteen years her junior, but her joy is clouded by worry -- Jana has been cutting school, and perhaps using heroin. Meanwhile, Kristyna's mother has forced on her a huge box of personal papers left by Kristyna's dead father, a tyrant whose Stalinist ideals she despised. A remarkable portrayal of a woman striving to be a lover and a mother, unravel her father's secret past, and protect her daughter in the nihilist present, No Saints or Angels confirms once again Ivan Klima's place among the most accomplished writers in world literature.
