Matky a kamionisti / Mothers and Truckers

Olívia is the mother of two children and an English teacher whose marriage has collapsed; Lara’s marriage is merely formal; Veronika, a student, falls victim to a French dating agency and has virtual flirtations with lorry drivers; Svetlana discovers the madness of her mathematical genius of a father and Ivana, an invalid, is controlled by her domineering mother. Ivana Dobrakovová is one of the most powerful voices in contemporary Slovak prose, a claim endorsed by the awards she has won and the increasing number of translations of her work into foreign languages. These overlapping stories of five women surprise with their openness and physicality.
