Ike by Prah https://www.prah.cz/ A surprisingly original and intelligent story, defined by clarity and panache. Through amusing descriptions of the protagonist’s sentimental misadventures and the antics of her household pets, the author highlights how the good things in life – such as love for our children and pets – can become our sheet anchor. Audience Lovers of humour Fans of dogs and other pets Women of all ages, who may see the author as a sort of “heroine” with whom they can identify. They might even concede that living in Italy is not always a bed of roses! What they say about Ike... “A refreshing book you’ll read with a permanent smile on your face”. Ike’s perception of the world of humans, and particularly of his adoptive Mummy’s, informs this humorous tale of people’s sometimes less-than-brilliant or downright miserable existentialups and downs. An account of life in Italy, of the Country itself, and of the character of its inhabitants. Like a cocktail of sparkling thoughts and events, the narrative is guaranteed to provide readers with genuine entertainment. A humour reminiscent of Stephen Clark’s delightfully funnyA Year in the Merde. The writer has an enormous gift – her ability to take a detached, “bird’s eye” view, not only of others and of sensitivesituationsin general, but above all of herself. And this is extremely rare.” Anna Novotná
