A poignant tale about the lives of the residents of a boarding house, their aging, and the passage of time. Ironic and witty, sensual and vivid. The residents compete with exotic diseases, children in America, education, flirt, escape, and reminisce about the taste of cherries and the war times that still seem close, full of beauty. Times when taste was sweeter and greenery more enduring. They come to terms with a life that is slowly slipping away and eternally wait for children who almost never visit. It is a novel about memory, fulfilled and unfulfilled loves, and the fragile boundary between good and evil. But it also offers a bold and unprecedented perspective on the essence of the body, which both saves and betrays. Dr. Josef's Little Beauty touches on the most difficult topics that each of us must confront, doing so mercilessly, with a high note, but also with humor, sometimes ribald, but more often subtle and contemplative. It leaves no one indifferent, provoking outrage but also seduction.
