You blow into the foam
The novel Foukneš do pěny won't be easy, but it will be a ride
In the book Foukneš do pěny, you'll meet the main character, Vlaďka, who gets in her car after a break-up and decides to drive to the end of the world. And it won't be a walk in the park; on the contrary, the journey will be quite thorny in places. The book is about three generations of women who aren't exactly connected by warm relationships. Daughter, mother, grandmother... a passing of fates from generation to generation, a vicious circle.
Foukneš do pěny keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very last moment. In the story, you'll find everything you've come to expect from this writer. Relationships, failure, trust, betrayal, romance, sexuality, and mental pain. It's not an optimistic read, but a rather faithful transcript of the thought processes of a woman who has been stuck in a vicious circle since childhood.
What they wrote about the book:
It will take your breath away in many ways. Radka Třeštíková's new novel, Foukneš do pěny, bears her catchy signature style, but at the same time, it goes further, pushing the boundaries of experience, hysteria, pain, and sentence length.
I liked the book. Sure, it's not R. Třeštíková's typical style; it reminded me more of P. Soukupová, and I happen to love her. The rawness of the thoughts, the narrative. For me, it was a beautiful and deep insight into a wounded female soul who embarks on a journey, reminisces, tortures herself, and heals...
