An engrossing novel about the lives in a small Slovak town during
the tumultuous twentieth century. In this highly acclaimed novel,
Jana Bodnarova offers an engrossing portrayal of a small Slovak
town and its inhabitants in the north of the country against the
backdrop of the tumultuous history of the twentieth century. As
Sara, the protagonist of Necklace/Choker, returns to her native
town after many years in exile to sell the old family house and
garden, she begins to piece together her family's history from
snippets and fragments of her own memory and the diaries of her
artist father, Imro.A talented painter, he survived the Holocaust
only to be crushed by the constraints imposed on his art by
Stalinist censorship, and Sara herself was later driven into exile
after dreams of socialism with a human face were shattered by the
Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Through their
stories, and that of Sara's friend, Iboja, the daughter of a
hotelier, readers will be immersed in key moments of Slovak history
and their bearing on the people in this less familiar part of
Central Europe.
