"This could be your story, your wife's, your mother's, or even your daughter's." In a foreign country, winter comes and it snows heavily. Roads in the mountains are closed. A seemingly ordinary housewife suddenly leaves her husband and two young children behind and disappears in the vast snow. What is she looking for, leaving behind her children and her duties as a mother and wife? After leaving "home," where else can she go? What can know about her from the police officers who are investigating the case? How about the social workers at the community center, and her former high school classmates? Do the masseuse with mysterious abilities, and her clueless husband have any confession to make?

An extraordinary little girl carries the daunting burden of understanding the world. Her father, a maverick left-wing intellectual, and her mother, a neurotic actress from an ancient farming family, both struggle as outsiders in post-World War II socialist Eastern Europe. The story unfolds with interesting, cruel, and absurd events that evoke laughter and sympathy. The original Czech language, complex and multi-layered, blends rural dialects, communist newspeak, theatrical jargon, and proletarian slang, elevated by philosophical thought and poetic associations. This English translation of the second volume of Dr. Olga Walló's autobiographical novel trilogy ("The Tower of the Holy Spirit") is poised to captivate international readers and deepen their understanding of Czech history and culture.
