The novel is a chronicle of the Aracki family, a Serbian middle-class family whose fate refracts the great historical events of the Balkans from the end of the nineteenth century through the whole of the twentieth. At its heart is Danilo Aracki, who searches for his missing brother and for the truth about his family, a search that leads to the other side of the Atlantic. It is a saga of beauty and doom, of a way of life with a fine sense of justice that is lost, in which realism, history and fairy tale feed each other, joining the traditions of the family novel and the emigrant novel.
