Description
Quiet Flows the Una is a poignant novel about a man's struggle to overcome personal trauma caused by war. Through an induced trance, the protagonist takes the reader on a journey through three time periods: his childhood before the conflict, the battle lines during the war, and his attempt to rebuild life in its aftermath. The book explores themes of identity, memory, and resilience, as the protagonist navigates the complexities of bipolar disorder and the trauma of war. Sehić's poetic prose weaves together vivid descriptions of nature, childhood memories, and the city by the river Una, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that is both haunting and beautiful. This novel is dedicated to those who find hope in the face of death and destruction, offering a powerful exploration of the human spirit's capacity for survival and rebirth.
