My Seven Lives, the best-selling memoir of the distinguished journalist Agneša Kalinová (1924-2014). Writer Jana Juráňová makes skillful and sensitive use of oral history methodology to bring out her interlocutor’s lively personality and extraordinary ability to stay positive in the face of adversity. The book is structured in seven chapters, each reflecting a distinct period of Agneša Kalinová’s long and tumultuous life. In this extract, set during the early 1970’s, in the normalization period that followed the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia, she describes the circumstances that led to her imprisonment.
