Ignorance
Author: Milan Kundera
Irena and Josef meet by chance while returning to their homeland, which they had abandoned twenty years earlier. Will they manage to pick up the thread of their strange love story, interrupted almost as soon as it began and then lost in the tides of history? The truth is that after such a long absence "their memories no longer match."

Though I much preferred 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being,' Kundera's 'Ignorance' is an equally passionate book. This main character returns to the Czech Republic after 20 years in exile in France following the fall of the Iron Curtain and finds herself in familiar places with familiar people, wholly unfamiliar with the jokes. Drawing comparisons to Odysseus and his long voyage back to Ithaca, 'Ignorance' is a fascinating examination of time, friendship, memory and what it means to go home.
