Description

As World War II draws to a close, Sredoje Lazukić, a veteran of the brutal conflict, finds his life irrevocably altered by a shocking discovery. This novel plunges into the heart of a once-tolerant town torn apart by war, exploring the devastating impact on the lives of three young friends. Through Tišma's unflinching prose, the narrative grapples with themes of love, betrayal, and the profound psychological scars left by violence and ideological conflict. It is a powerful testament to the enduring human spirit amidst unimaginable devastation.
