ABOUT THE BOOK
Shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2013
An old woman sits alone in Gorizia, north-eastern Italy. She is waiting to be reunited with her son. He was fathered by an S.S. officer and stolen from her sixty-two years before by the Nazi authorities during the German occupation.
By focusing on the experiences of one individual, Drndić engages head-on with the traumatic history of WWII and the Holocaust and deals unsparingly with the massacre of Jews in Trieste's concentration camp.
A literary collage comprising photographs, scraps of poetry, interviews and testimonies from the Nuremberg Trials, it is a formally daring work of immense power and scope.
Translated from the Croatian by Ellen Elias-Bursać.
