Author reading with Beatrice Landovská: When Mum Slept

A personal account of growing up, family and finding one's own path in 1970s Czechoslovakia.

At this author reading, Beatrice Landovská presents her memoir prose. With humour and irony, her diary entries describe Normalisation, the formation of Charter 77, the Czech dissident milieu and a complicated relationship with her eccentric father.

It is both testimony to the Normalisation era and the story of a young woman trying to find her place in the world.
