Kin

Kin is a dazzling family epic from one of Croatia`s most prized writers. In this sprawling narrative which spans the entire twentieth century, Miljenko Jergovic peers into the dusty corners of his family`s past, illuminating them with a tender, poetic precision. Ordinary, forgotten objects - a grandfather`s beekeeping journals, a rusty benzene lighter, an army issued raincoat - become the lenses through which Jergovic investigates the joys and sorrows of a family living through a century of war.
