Description
Vladan Borojević's search for his father Nedeljko leads him to uncover a dark family secret that recollects the events of 1991, when he first heard the military term deployment and his idyllic childhood came to an end. Seventeen years later, Vladan discovers that he is the son of a fugitive war criminal, setting him on a journey around the Balkans to find his elusive father.
As Vladan searches for answers about his family's past, he finds out how the falling apart of his family is closely linked with the disintegration of the world they used to live in. The story of the Borojević family strings juxtaposes images of the Balkans past and present, revealing the tragic fates of people who managed to avoid the bombs but were unable to escape the war.
This powerful and moving novel explores the complex legacy of war and its impact on families and communities. With its nuanced portrayal of a troubled past and its ongoing effects, Yugoslavia, My Fatherland is a thought-provoking and deeply human story.
