El florecer de los tilos en los Balcanes

With captivating and evocative prose, Serbian writer Gordana Kuić immerses us in postwar Yugoslavia —from 1945 to the mid-1960s— in this eagerly awaited sequel to "The Scent of Rain in the Balkans". The Salom sisters, Sephardic Jews who survived Nazi persecution, now face a transformed country. The story shifts to Belgrade, where Blanki Salom —along with her sister Riki and her young daughter Inda, the author's alter ego— must adapt to the new reality imposed by the communist regime without the support of her husband, Marko Korać, imprisoned as an "enemy of the people". While Blanki struggles to survive and Inda grows up in an uncertain environment but surrounded by her parents' love, the lives of the other members of the Salom family trace a map of exiles, renunciations, and losses that stretches from sun-drenched Dubrovnik to the United States and the newly established State of Israel.
