The novel follows a family, from their Croatian roots on a small, out of the way island, to some of them emigrating during the Balkan Wars, to the ones left behind who had to find a way to survive. And that's what this story is ultimately about. Survival. The impact of the war on this family, how it changed each one of them and shaped the younger generations who didn't understand. To tell you any more would be to deprive you of the wonderful intricacies with which this story has been interwoven.
The first rule of swimming is to stay afloat, and that's exactly what each of these characters has been taught to do.
An excellent novel that I would highly recommend.… (lisätietoja)
