Review
Compelling, humane... a novel of remarkable delicacy and power.... Its central subject how personal and collective histories mesh has never been more vital. --Michael Symmons Roberts
A story to be passed on, and one that would bear any number of re-readings to mine its many layers of meaning. --Suzie Ceulan Hughes, www.gwales.com
Product Description
Set in Split, Zagreb and Hvar in the Forties and the Nineties, sculptor Antun and student Dagmar are separately seeking truths about their parents. The novel explores how a country like Croatia could implode into violence; how history is still a living (and unspent) force for many, and how, when so much has been destroyed, may a future re-emerge.
