Roman ima dva glavna junaka, oca i kćer, a njihov je odnos razrađen lirskim, figurativnim jezikom, istovremeno suosjećajno i nemilosrdno lucidno. Svako poglavlje knjige ima snagu izvrsne kratke priče. Mediteranski su motivi originalni: u rasponu od n ...more

Neven’s Quotes

“O, jadna moja Marjeta, počela je odma plakati stara Marjetina mater, jer se Marjeta nije to jutro vratila s ispaše, a cijele je noći grmilo. Kad u nas grmi, ljudi se sklone pod koji zaklon i čekaju jutro pa se u selo vrate tek ujutro. A dogodilo se, ne jednom, da ih grom pokosi na tom našem brdu, pa se nikad ne vrate. Brda su ovdje kod nas gola, nema stabla, sve samo sitno grmlje, i kad hodaš tuda po oluji, grom nema koga nego tebe pogoditi. Zato se u ovom kraju uvijek puno vjerovalo u boga i imalo jedan poseban odnos s bogom. Pred bogom se ništa nije skrivalo i uvijek mu se glasno molilo. Jer nema puno mjesta gdje bog tako često i tako precizno pogađa sve koji su mu nevjerni.”

“Ali svako malo sretnem nekog starijeg, nekog u kome mogu vidjeti tebe. Na prvu me pogledaju mrko i oprezno. Ja bih da ih pitam, gdje su nicale vaše ljubavi? Koji su vas to prolazi, koji haustori, koje zavjese skrivale? Ja razumijem strah u njihovim očima. I to što se prave da me ne vide, da ne čuju. Što paze da nam se tijela slučajno u prolazu ne dotaknu. Ja razumijem. Naučila sam jezik tišine.”
― Lejla Kalamujić, Zovite me Esteban
