Kafka's Love

I went to the Czech Republic and while there I was introduced to Franz Kafka. As I found out more about Kafka I became more interested in Milena Jesenska. I found this book and read it in three days. The start is kind of slow but the parts with Kafka are really good and the end is tragic. If you love Kafka then you will love Milena.
