Sea Eve

Audiobook Sea Eva, by Iva Hadj Moussa, read by Markéta Haroková, directed by Vladan Hýl. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO TAKE A BREATH Forty-something Eva lives an ordinary, unassuming life. Until the moment when all her previous certainties start to crumble under her hands. A series of unexpected events culminates in the shocking realisation that where others drown, she catches her breath. Will this newfound ability turn Eva into a superhero? Or more like a woman who allows herself to be herself for the first time, even if it means being strange, elusive, or even dangerous? Eve of the Sea is a late coming-of-age novel about a woman trying to survive the pressures of family, authorities, media and her own ideas of what she should be. The tragicomic images blend fantasy, intimacy and satire of petty bourgeois expectations. The author observes with insight and tenderness how a person can fall apart, put himself back together and find strength in something that eventually becomes his key to freedom.
