About the book

In 1941, artist Antun Fiskovic experiences a change in his fortunes following the dramatic revelation of the identity of his parents, just as occupying forces take over the government of his country. Fifty years later, a young woman, Dagmar Petric, tries to solve the mystery surrounding her father's death. Antun and Dagmar's stories come together in 1998, three years after civil war has torn apart the former Yugoslavia. This novel weaves public and private history through the catalyst of family secrets unearthed, the fallout of war, and the journey to personal and national reconciliation. "Simpson mirrors the histories of her characters with the rage and despair of their war-ravaged country... Her deft handling and authority creates a satisfying and compelling tale."--Publishers Weekly.
