In a late summer a man goes far away from the world, looking for solitude. Then a woman arrives, and their love story slowly unwinds like autumn silk. Both are survivors of a shipwreck of sorts: the characters come from Kosovo and Metohija and from Slavonia, carrying their own losses and memories, and in their personal suffering a wider misfortune of their time is reflected. It is a novel about people who, in dramatic times, give up love and happiness.
