Láska za plotom (Love behind the Fence) – Rory, 2020

 

 

 

A beautiful picture book about the power of desire and dreams.

An old couple lived together in a house by the forest. Behind that house there was a garden with different fruit trees. They were old and crooked just like the hands of the grandparents.

One day, a weird panting sound came from the other side of the fence. Grandmother came closer to the small gate and smiled.

The book is full of beautiful illustrations made by Andrea Schmidtova, who breathed a unique charm into  fragile story about two lonely old people. This book was written not only for children but also adults. Because the grandparents‘ desire of hug was probably never more relevant.
