If you are interested in Czech history, US history, feminism, prison, or mother-daughter relationships, you will love this story.
Charlotte Garrigue was an American citizen who married Tomáš Masaryk in 1878. Masaryk became the founder and first president of Czechoslovakia in 1918. Before he became president, the family endured difficult times; in 1915, their daughter Alice was arrested for treason against the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
This book is a collection of the letters between Charlotte and Alice during her imprisonment in Vienna. It's an interesting behind-the-scenes look at two strong and brilliant women. Their letters feature reflections on literature and religion that provide a window into that time.
The book features an introduction by the historian Marie Neudorflová and has footnotes providing facts and context.
Info autore
Born within the sound of St Nicholas's Church bells in Liverpool, Anne Johnson née Anne Taft, entered this world in 1953 as a true 'Scouser' - a nickname for all Liverpudlians. A committed Christian, she came to know of the Lord in her thirties, long after suffering years of deprivation, abuse and domestic violence. Her penchant for poetry developed as she found great comfort and healing in words she composed into prose based on her own life experiences. Her poetry is designed now to help others to achieve emancipation, refuge and healing in a loving and forgiving God.
