Lucia's Choice

Audiobook Lucia's Choice, by Dagmar Berková, read by Šárka Vondrová, directed by Miloš Vrána. A deeply human story, through which the desire for love, recognition and the freedom to make decisions about one's own life runs like a red thread. Eighteen-year-old Anna, afflicted with polio, rebels against her mother's cruel upbringing and her destiny as a maid. In the autumn of 1938, without the support of his family, he set out from a backward Slovak village for Bratislava. This is where he wants to fulfill his dream: to study medicine. Anna's determined nature will also affect her daughter Lucia. His mother's harsh upbringing, full of prejudice, brings defiance, infidelity, and eventually murder. Will Lucia manage to find her own way? DAGMAR BERKOVÁ Dagmar Berková graduated from the grammar school in Teplice and SUPŠ in Turnov. She had always enjoyed writing, but had never aspired to publish a book. She was even more surprised when the publishing house MOBA responded to her first and only attempt with a contract offer. It so happened that she debuted with the novel Lucia's Choice at the age of 71. The novel drew rave reviews and readers hope to see more books from the pen of this newly discovered author who has appealed not only to her own generation but also to the younger generation. ŠÁRKA VONDROVÁ Actress, experienced dubber and audiobook interpreter, originally from Pardubice. He appears on screen in many series (Code Blue, The Rose Garden).
