[edit] Plot introduction
Czech expatriot Irena, who has been living in France, decides to return to her home after twenty years. There she meets an old flame.
The novel examines the feelings instigated by the return to a homeland, which has ceased to be a home. In doing so, it reworks the old theme of Odysseus. It paints a poignant picture of love and its manifestations, a recurring theme in Kundera's novels.
