A tale of twelve-year-old Jarka who lives with her very young mother in the suburbs, a woman with little interest in being a mother and only a teenager herself when her daughter was born. Given neither love nor attention, Jarka must look after herself and spends many long hours alone in her flat or wandering aimlessly around the estate where she lives. Everything changes when Jarka steals a pram with six-month-old twins in it and then hides with them in a little summer house. Together with Kristián, an eight-year-old boy who has run away from home, the babies form a dream family which Jarka is determined to look after. Piata loď – The Fifth Boat is a dramatic story about unhappy, prematurely adolescent children who avoid the people closest to them so that they can create their own secret world. The novel won the prestigious Anasoft litera prize and became book of the year. It has been adapted to the theater performance. A film version of the book was out in the spring of 2016.
