"Serce mi pęka! To niemożliwe, żeby uczucia mogły tak minąć bezpowrotnie, bez niczego, tak przepaść nagle beż żadnego powodu! To musi być jakieś straszne, chwilowe załamanie, jakaś Twoja okropna fantazja, może zły humor, może coś innego... Przecież nie może już tak pozostać, Twoje uczucia doznały zamętu przez tę francuską hienę, Barbara z mężem przereklamowali ją, przekonasz się o tym, wrócisz do mnie..." (fragment powieści)

Bardzo lubię, gdy martwe przedmioty ożywają i dostają ludzkie cechy. Mocno filozoficzna książka, całkiem inna niż inne, które czytałam tej autorki.

Zaliczam tę historie do opowieści fantastycznych, a także nieco dziwnych. Cała historia opowiedziana jest w formie listów miłosnych, które auto marki Skoda wysyła do swojego właściciela, gdy ten przebywa poza Warszawą. Personifikacja - która mnie nie zachwyciła.
