Živjeti

Jelena Kastaneti

Alex and Lena get into the car. They've had a fight and aren't saying anything to each other. It's a rainy London night, and in the darkness, only two lights appear ahead of them. The next moment, the car overturns.

Yes, what comes after that night is terrible. What if one of the two hearts stops beating? But this book doesn't stop where it all ends. It takes us to where it all just begins. Where years earlier, in an elite London neighborhood, a nanny runs a brush through a girl's golden hair, and 450 kilometers north in a meadow behind two poor houses, a grandfather talks to a boy about birds. The novel Living brings us a warm but also difficult story about family, friendship and love. About childhood, power, poverty, dreams and loss. About the multitude of words left unsaid when they should have been spoken and the multitude of words spoken when they should have been kept silent. About a girl who wants to be invisible and a boy who has always wanted to fly. Prepare for a hurricane of emotions. Because with these characters you will laugh at times and rejoice in life. You will want to comfort them in a hug, they will anger you and sometimes remind you of everything you yourself are. Because on every page of this novel is written a part of a beautiful and powerful story about life.
