My first and last book by this author.
2 stars because there is not many books that talk about nations and countries that were occupied by communist soviet union, and we desperately need to talk about this and see that it is a huge part of human history, human experience. And I kind of liked the style. Other than that, it would get a 1, if not a 0. If a book makes me want to only read books from female authors and about female experience, it was not for me. That is to put my opinion lightly. If a man likes this book and this author, it would be extremely important to know why, because there are wrong answers, and you should run if you heard one.

This is an absolute trash of a book. There are many mentions of a main character wanting to r@pe some woman. The characters (men) misogynistic and all the women who are progressive or feminists in this book (well, let's be honest, ALL women) are presented as stupid and... and their only purpose is to serve as a pleasure "device" for men.
I also hate the author's obsession with sex, not to mention the scene when the children are giving pleasure to a GROWN woman. Disgusting.
The writing is trashy, it gave me huge Colleen Hoover vibes.
And Kundera's "witt" is more like a pseudo-witt.
