Translated from the Croatian by Celia Hawkesworth. Read for Borderless Book Club (https://www.peirenepress.com/borderless-book-club/)

Blurb:
When a couple start making love loudly in a suburb of Split, the disturbance is noted by a local poet who takes it upon himself to write a series of letters to his neighbours, touching upon the nature of love, war, lust, capitalism and childhood. This acts as a catalyst for famous soap opera writer, Clementine, to embark on a road trip in her golden convertible in search of her lost love, the poet Nightingale.

My review:
A playful and poetic novel containing many different voices, which are rendered into English with varying degrees of success.

Arrived safely in today's post-- thank you, Edwardstreet!

I am participating in the European Countries reading challenge this year, and I have had a couple of false starts when it comes to finding a Croatia book, so this one is particularly helpful to me! It will probably get read relatively quickly. Thank you again!
