Stoji ti put

It is told in a time when it was normal for women to suffer, when words like rebellion, choice and rights did not exist, and salvation was hidden only in coffee grounds. Although voices about women's right to equality echo loudly from all sides, Julijana Matanović's heroines are still forced to live in a male world in which all attempts at rebellion are crushed. Although all three women are from different generations, their environment, both personal and general history, make them victims who only continue the unhappy series of family-bound women. Love and contempt, life and death, parents and children, are polarities that will collide in the most difficult way possible in the novel Stoji ti put and raise the question of how to move forward. Julijana Matanović's unique style is at its highest level and may hit us as readers where we are most sensitive, but it makes us not only satisfied readers but also better people who will look at life completely differently after reading this novel.
