This is a stunning book. The writing is gorgeous and confident, with insightful observations woven into elegant prose. The novel follows a withheld woman who, after the death of her husband, embarks on a journey of sexual and mental liberation. Recounting this journey from the perspective of her nineties, the protagonist offers a poignant reflection on desire, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more of Vesna’s work!

Book kindly supplie...
