Blood is Only Water is a merciless social drama depicting the breakup of a dysfunctional family. Over more than four hundred pages, the reader follows their shifting relationships, and with each character you feel that there is no escape from the situation. To deepen their psychological portrayal, the author repeatedly changes perspective, showing the action first through the eyes of Klára, then her mother, and then her father. The author challenges the �������� stereotype of the man being the violent head of the family: in this case it is the mother, with her unfulfilled acting ambitions and alcoholic excesses. It is clear from the beginning that there will be no happy ending, and it will be Klára who pays the highest price.
