Split
“They entered a city that, like Misto, had been transformed. A city where sandbags were piled at the entrances to buildings, where cars drove around without licence plates and armed people walked the streets”
The time period in the book is interesting – Tito’s Yugoslavia is descending into civil war. We see the many upheavals of Croatian society, from the fall of communism, through the 1991-1995 civil war, to the explosion of tourism with its toxic land speculation and corruption. A good and detailed insight into the changing city and country.
