ABOUT/vsebina:
IRENA IS A CHEMIST WHO WORKS ON HER PH.D THESIS TRYING TO FIND A METHOD FOR PRESERVATION OF INK ON OLD DOCUMENTS, THAT WOULDN’T DESTROY THE PAPER ON WHICH THEY ARE WRITTEN, AS MUCH AS THE OLD METHODS DO. HER PASSION STEMS FROM HER DESIRE TO PRESERVE HER GRANDMOTHER’S LETTERS WHICH SHE WROTE HOME WHILE WORKING IN ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRINES, AS THEY WERE CALLED, WERE WOMEN FROM PRIMORSKA IN SLOVENIA , WHO WENT TO WORK AS NURSES FOR CHILDREN OF RICH FAMILIES IN EGYPT TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN FAMILIES AT HOME. MANY WOMEN FROM PRIMORSKA WERE IMPELLED TO GO TO WORK THERE DUE TO DIFFICULT ECONOMIC SITUATION IN LATE 19. AND EARLY 20. CENTURY AND TO LEAVE THEIR HUSBANDS AND CHILDREN FOR MANY YEARS, TO SAVE THEIR HOMESTEADS. ALTHOUGH THE WHOLE VILLAGES LIVED ON THE MONEY THEY WERE SENDING HOME, THEY ENCOUNTERED MOSTLY PREJUDICE AND MISTRUST WHEN THEY RETURNED AND MANY DIED IN POVERTY AND REJECTED BY HUSBANDS AND CHILDREN THEY HAD TO ABANDON. IRENA’S GRANDMOTHER’S LETTERS ARE FULL OF FASCINATION FOR THE NEW LIFE SHE WAS ENCOUNTERING ON ONE HAND AND PERMEATED WITH THE FEELINGS OF LONELINESS, YEARNING FOR HER CHILD AND HER BELOVED HUSBAND ON THE OTHER. IRENA, WHO CAN IDENTIFY WITH HER GRANDMOTHER IN MANY WAYS , PASSIONATELY BELIEVES THAT HISTORY MUST BE PRESERVED SO THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM IT. SHE IS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IN HER GRANDMOTHER’S LETTERS FOR HER OWN LIFE SITUATION. HER HUSBAND HAS JUST HAD AN AFFAIR AND SHE IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO PATCH UP HER MARRIAGE. HER MOTHER, BEING A CHILD OF AN ALEKSANDRINE WHO RESENTED HER OWN MOTHER FOR BEING ABANDONED, BELIEVES THAT IRENE’S HUSBAND INFIDELITY IS IRENE’S OWN FAULT, SINCE SHE SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME ON HER SCIENTIFIC CAREER, NEGLECTING HER FAMILY. BUT IRENE BELIEVES THAT TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AND FAMILY AT THE SAME TIME.
Irena je kemik, ki za svojo doktorsko tezo poskuša odkriti novo formulo za ohranjanje črnila na starih dokumentih, ki ne uničuje papirja do take mere kot stare metode. Ta strast do ohranjanja starih zapisov izvira iz njene želje, da bi ohranila pisma svoje babice, ki jih je pisala, ko je delala v Aleksandriji. Aleksandrinke so ženske iz Primorske, ki so šle delat kot dojilje k bogatim družinam v Aleksandriji , da bi lahko vzdrževale svoje družine doma, v času ekonomske krize konec 19. in v začetku 20. stoletja. Čeprav so cele vasi živele od denarja, ki so ga zaslužile, so se ob vrnitvi večinoma srečevale z nezaupanjem in pred sodniki tako, da so mnoge od njih končale v revščini, zavrnjene od lastnih družin, cerkve in skupnosti. Pisma Irenine stare mame so prežeta z navdušenjem nad novo deželo in novim življenjem na eni strani, in s hrepenenjem po otrocih, možu in vseh bližnjih, na drugi. Irena, ki se lahko identificira s svojo babico, verjame, da je treba zgodovino ohranjati , da se lahko učimo iz nje. Odgovore na vprašanja v zvezi s svojim življenjem, išče v pismih svoje stare mame. Po nedavni ljubezenski aferi njenega moža, Irena na vse načine poskuša zakrpati njun zakon. Irenina mama, hči Aleksandrinke, ki jo je mati kot otroka zaradi dela zapustila, verjame, da je Irenina znanstvena kariera in njeno »zanemarjanje družine« zaradi dela, glavni razlog za nezvestobo njenega moža. Vendar Irena verjame, da so se časi spremenili in da je mogoče imeti družino in uspešno kariero istočasno.
