The book illustrates some memories of her childhood in various cities of Croatia. Then she continues describing her adulthood in a refugee camp in Italy, emigration to Chile and finally to Venezuela where the family settled. However, her love for Croatia was always present in her life.  Anica Markov in 2023
There were some good and some not-so-good events in her early life. She describes them from the point of view of a young person who matured long before her coming of age. Perhaps the main message the author conveys to the reader, especially to the young, is her optimism that the tough events in one’s life make you become strong and prepared for the life ahead. ‘The sun will rise again”, she says. |
