During a holiday in Thailand the young  talented trumpet player Karla Klimentov\u00e1 is caught by the infamous, catastrophic tsunami. She loses both her parents. Back in the Czech Republic her former teacher persuades her to make a trip to Cuba. There Karla gets mixed up in a thriller-like \u2018road story\u2019 on a hellish island that is all but a friendly Caribbean paradise. The past, full of the secret service, politics, blackmail, comes to live and tears open all kind of old wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blues is perhaps the only right word to express the atmosphere and tone of this novel. It is not just about a traditional form of music, it is also a poetic form that for many poets under the communist rule was a source of inspiration. Blues was a safe haven and a tool for escape. Blues is a metaphor for endless sorrow as well as a way to rebel against your own fate..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can recommend this book to anyone who want to listen to blues, opens one\u2019s eyes and find out that it\u2019s worth living, even though life can sometimes be difficult to endure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe stories of the characters in the new novel by Mark\u00e9ta Pil\u00e1tov\u00e1 are within the context of Czech prose extremely impressive. What makes the novel so exceptional is that the author managed to incorporate elements of a spy thriller in the very successful constructed intrigue\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll layers and motives, characters and stories refer to one junction: that of a big city that has spread out over the whole world\u00a0 and has touched everyone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
