About this ebook
"a haunting classic" Madeleine Kingsley in She Magazine
An intricate, finely crafted and polished tale, The Weeping Woman on the Streets of Prague brings magic-realism to the dimly lit streets of Prague. Through the squares and alleys a woman walks, the embodiment of human pity, sorrow, death. Everyone she passes is touched by her, and Germain skilfully creates an intense mood and feel in her attempt to produce a spiritual map of Prague." The Observer
Strong on emotion and atmosphere. A very personal view of both Prague and life.
