As soon as Jitka and her fiancé buy a house, it's time for Jitka to fulfil her long-time dream: to have a faithful, cute, furry friend, capable of true, unconditional love.
The new addition to their family is strong-willed, with a clear focus on his own wants. He displays daily his obvious love of all the things the world so generously provides for him, especially if it tastes good, or at least is not completely inedible.
Not aware yet that a dramatic turn of events is just around the corner, Jitka and her fiancé are enjoying life with the many surprising and frequently comical situations that Pepi drags them into. As life, so often unpredictable, can change laughter into tears, joy into fear and vice-versa, Jitka's secure world is turned upside down and she is hurtling down the roller coaster with Pepi by her side. Will they make it?
These are life lessons - powerful, maybe, but always entertaining.
A propos de l'auteur
Jitka Schieff was raised in pre-Velvet-Revolution Czechoslovakia. With her family, she emigrated to Australia, which became her new home. Spending most of her adult life in Sydney and loving travel, she also spent several years in London and Rome. In more recent years Jitka moved to France and later back to her native Czech Republic, where she now lives in Prague. Her friends, highly entertained and greatly moved by her stories, persuaded her to put them down on paper. Pepi and I is her first book.
