pickAs the seasons change they are mentioned in the story. The land, scenery, weather are all mentioned which made for a story I could visualize. The location was Solvene Littoral in the Eastern Alps near Yugoslavia. I learned about a region I was not familiar with & a little Slovene history. I was engaged with the story & characters, even though it was during times of war I found the story optimistic. A little gem of a book. #1001books ❤
Day 10 - #SpringBreak #MarchMadness #1001Books
I read this book in 2015:
Story of the writer's return, after 15 years, to a village in Slovenia where Alpine and Mediterranean worlds meet. He describes the experiences of the people who live there. The events the characters go through gives the reader feelings of joy, compassion and love. Reminded me of my grandfather who also left a nearby Croatian area in 1914 because of the onset of World War I.
so-soA very quiet story set in turbulent times - between World War I and II, and time immediately after WW II. A young man, who returns to his home after 15 years, remembers and thinks about the fate his parents, village, love, death ... Beautiful language, dynamic structure, interesting characters, but the story as a whole, unfortunately, doesn‘t work for me. #ReadAroundTheWorld #Slovenia
