In the Time of Tall Grass - Lilijana Homovec
Novel In the time of tall grass is about the intertwining of people's lives, connected by the past, loss and untold stories. Twenty-five years later, Bruno and Nevio meet again upon the news of the death of Greta - the girl who once connected their worlds. Her death triggers the revelation of memories and shows that the past never truly disappears, but waits for someone to open it again.
The story focuses on the fates of several generations of women and men, marked by desires, missed opportunities, love, loyalty, shame, and the search for self. The author explores the power of forgiveness and the question of whether it is possible to escape one's past.
The novel is a quiet, emotional story about how lives intertwine and how people bravely confront who they were – and who they can become.
