Publisher's Synopsis
To find herself, Nina must first unravel her past. After eight years abroad, twenty-nine-year-old Nina returns home to Slovenia to attend to her ill father. Plagued by painful childhood memories, poor health, and a broken heart, she struggles to reconnect with her father. When she discovers her birth certificate, she realises her parents were not who they claimed to be. On top of that, she's pregnant with the child of the man with whom she's ended things twice. Searching for her biological parents, does Nina have it in her to be a mother when she doesn't know who she really is? Lyrical prose, a vivid sense of place and compelling characters who remain with us combine in this outstanding debut novel from Slovenian writer, Brigita Orel.
