I wouldn't call this book my very favorite by Kundera (I love his work tremendously, no-fiction as well as fiction)but it is a splendid novel nonetheless. I think it has a certain cinematographic feeling: the author sets up frames which are described in delicate details, it's easy to invision characters moving in time and space as if on a screen. A deelpy insightful and moving depiction of how two people who are very much in love and close to each other can be pushed away almost to the point of no return, due to simple miscommunication. There is so little certainty and stability in everything we want to be solid in our lives, our greatest loves are still fragile - in need of close attention and care. This simple truth is so easily and often forgotten, Kundera's reminder is poignant and beautiful.
