Kad su cvetale tikve

From the first sentence, which begins the poignant confession of the hero of this book, to the last, everything is written in such a way that it can be read in one breath, like a ballad that equally captures the attention of its entire plot and individual episodes. As if through an ordinary clear glass, various, crossed and complex tragedies can be seen: of one man, one family, one time, one climate. With the novel When the Pumpkins Bloomed, Dragoslav Mihailović took a high place in Serbian literature.
