A Partisan's Daughter

Summary

In the novel «A Partisan's Daughter» two lonely souls cross paths: Rob, a disillusioned London clerk trapped in a loveless marriage, and Rosa, a mysterious émigré from Yugoslavia with a turbulent past. Their chance encounter in a 1970s suburb marks the beginning of a strange friendship, filled with stories of war, love, and betrayal. Rosa, captivating Rob with her candor and pain, gradually unveils the dramatic chapters of her life—memories of partisan resistance, family tragedies, and the search for freedom. Between them grows a fragile, almost impossible connection, where each seeks salvation from their own emptiness. Against the backdrop of gray routines and inexpressible longing, the author crafts a poignant tale about the thirst for closeness, the price of memory, and the impossibility of fully understanding another person.
