The Fig Tree is a novel composed of the intertwining stories of the family of Jadran, a 30-something who tries to piece together the story of his relatives in order to better understand himself. Because he cannot understand why Anja walked out of their shared life, he tries to understand the suspicious death of his grandfather and the withdrawal of his grandmother into oblivion and dementia. With all his might, Jadran tries to understand the departure of his father in the first year of the war in the Balkans as he also tries to comprehend his mother, with her bewildering resentment of his grandfather, and her silent disappointment with his father. The Fig Tree is a multigenerational family saga, a tour de force spanning three generations from the mid-20th century through the Balkans wars of the 90s until present day. Vojnovic is a master storyteller, and while fateful choices made by his characters are often dictated by the historical realities of the times they live in, at its heart this is an intimate story of family, of relationships, of love and freedom and the choices we make.

I have very mixed feelings about the book. Although the book provides some in depth perspectives on the book's characters, at the end of the book, I felt that their characterizations were really so superficial that I did not know much about the characters. That said, the portrait of the grandmother's growing dementia is very touching. The book is also full of invectives against Bosnians. Finally, the way the book is structured is a challenge. The book switches from first person to first person without really making it clear who the chapter is about. Similarly, it jumps from time period to time period. This made the book more trouble than it was worth. ( )
