Wanneer Milena Jesenská in 1944 in het concentratiekamp Ravensbrück overlijdt, komt een einde aan het leven van een sterke, flamboyante vrouw.
Aangezien het werk in het verzet een soort familieactiviteit is waar Milena zonder scrupules haar dochter Jana ook voor gebruikt, komt het uiteindelijk tot een buitengewoon tragisch voorval.
Vanaf 1939 speelt zich Milena's leven in gevangenissen en uiteindelijk, na veroordeling, in het concentratiekamp Ravensbrück af.

 Franz Kafka and Milena Jesenska
Milena Jesenská (pronounced Mee-leh-nah Yeh-sen-skah) was born August 10, 1896 in Prague to Dr. Jan Jesenský, a dentist and professor of medicine at Charles University in Prague, and Milena (Hejzlarová) Jesenská (in Czech and other Slavic languages, women's last names have a feminine ending).
Milena saw very clearly that Frank, as she called him, was not going to live much longer.
She recovered, having suffered damage to her right knee and was lamed for life, and she had also become addicted to morphine, and many years of hardship and failed attempts to quit followed until she finally managed to "kick the habit" in 1938.

This gave rise to an impassioned correspondence between them, although the connection didn't turn into a real-life love affair, partly because Milena was married, and partly because of Kafka's numerous anxieties and aversions in the male/female domain.
Rather, the book is a loving tribute to Milena by Margarete Buber-Neumann, with whom she was imprisoned at the women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück.
The two had planned to write a book together when they were freed, but Milena died of kidney failure in May 1944, so Margarete chose instead to tell her friend's story.
