Tam, kjer plešejo tulipani

An epic family saga with a strong personal note, in which the author explores the history of her own family and blends historical fact with invented events. The long novel opens in 1912 in the town of Vršac on the Serbian-Romanian border and puts three women at its centre: a grandmother, her daughter and her granddaughter. Each in her own way faces stormy social and political change, the First and Second World Wars and the tense climate of Yugoslavia between and after them, as well as personal trials, among them a moving love story at the heart of the family portrait. The book deals with the weight of inherited trauma, personal and national identity, the complexity of human relationships and the power of love, which can both save and destroy.
