The international sensation that UK booksellers are calling this generation's War and Peace. At the start of the twentieth century, on the edge of the Russian Empire, a family prospers, thanks to a magical recipe for hot chocolate that bewitches its drinkers. But this chocolate carries a bitter -- some say cursed -- aftertaste ... Tumbling through the years, across vast expanses of longing and loss, we witness generation after generation of this remarkable family as they struggle and thrive, divide and reunite, and live and die in the red century.

Klara tragicky zomiera na turistike. Len Paulína vie, čo sa stalo. Paulína je Slovenka, ktorú Klara zamestnala po matkinom infarkte, aby sa stala jej opatrovateľkou. Klara sa tak naďalej mohla venovať svojej práci a manžel mal čas len pre seba. Kým Paulína pracovala v Rakúsku, o jej deti na Slovensku sa starala svokra. Bolo to výborne zorganizované, Paulínu si všetci obľúbili a vždy sa jej štedro odvďačili. Možno sa s Klarou dokonca spriatelili, ale potom sa čosi pokazilo. Na ceste k vzájomnému pochopeniu prekročili hranice. Rakúsko-slovenská autorka Susanne Gregor napísala citlivý psychologický román o dvoch ženách a jemných hraniciach medzi dobrými úmyslami, konfliktom a odcudzením vo svete plnom nerovnosti. Vydanie knihy z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia. Preklad knihy vychádza vďaka podpore Spolkového ministerstva bývania, umenia, kultúry, médií a športu Rakúskej republiky.
