In 2010, Magdalena Platzová began searching for traces of Felicia Bauer/ová, Franz Kafka's fiancee, in America. The meeting with Bauer's son and his family resulted in a book that is ultimately not only about Felica, but also about other people who were close to Kafka and whose fates are connected with pre-war Europe and its ruins.
