Summery: A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing; one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover—these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel "the unbearable lightness of being" not only as the consequence of our pristine actions but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine.
Review: While I enjoyed reading most of the philosophies/beliefs in the book I didn't really enjoy the romances or the characters much. It got to a part in the book involving Tereza that made me very uncomfortable, and made me feel very icky reading it, after a certain point involving that plot point I could not finish reading the book. I ended up giving the book to Goodwill.
Hope everybody had/has a great day : )
