Kukavičje jaje

Kukavičje jaje

Stjepan Tomaš

The novel deals with a tragic topic – the discovery and excavation of mass graves, as well as the exhumations and painful identification of the remains of veterans and civilians after the Homeland War.

But that is just the framework of the life drama of a young woman who has been searching for years for her husband, a war correspondent for HINA, who disappeared from the Eastern Slavonian battlefields in September 1991, who had gone to film a column of tanks decorated with flowers, on the way from Belgrade to the Croatian border... The father, seeing how his daughter was dying every day, persuaded his friend and war comrade, who was supervising the exhumations, to plant someone else's bones as her husband's remains and his PRESS card, as a sign of recognition, at one of the next identifications - so that his daughter would stop torturing herself in the search for her missing husband, to save her a little bit of the future when she had already lost the present... They did this hoping that the worst would not happen, that her husband's remains, or even the grave, would be found. But that is exactly what happened...
