The novel was published in 2022 and centers around Grozdan Šumara, a man whose story reflects the complex realities of war and patriotism. Filled with patriotic and national zeal, Grozdan returns in 1992 from Berlin - where he had worked for years - to a newly ignited Bosnian conflict, reuniting with his wife and four sons. He is portrayed as a typical Serbian fighter, but his once unshakable patriotism begins to waver in the face of war profiteers and betrayal. As the moral compass of the local man awakens within him, Grozdan struggles to reconcile his ideals with the growing corruption around him.
Even after the war, turbulent winds continue to trouble the people of Kozara and Potkozarje - fueled by both foreign influence and domestic dishonesty. This powerful novel explores how love for one’s homeland can endure, even as that homeland is reshaped by greed, loss, and disillusionment.
