review 1: Enjoyed this book since I am living in Prague. Not sure anyone who hasn't lived or visited for a longer visit would enjoy it, although it is an easy read. The author had some "awakenings" into her own life that could apply to non-Praguers :-)But overall it is what you would expect from the title. A book about someone who decides to pack up and move to an exotic location, not knowing the language nor the culture - all the experiences that brings good and bad and loneliness. With high ambitious - those too were brought down to earth.
review 2: A very quick read as nothing much happens to the writer (!), and it is written in a very fluent, easy to read style. Having a Czech heritage, I was interested in the details of everyday life in Prague, especially the ext... moreraordinary rudeness of the checkout chicks; a rather sad thing for a country to be known for! It is a small pleasant book, with some funny moments and it is a tentative, shy step into the country, which you might like to follow with something a bit bigger and bolder. less
