Widow Cesira and her daughter Rosetta flee bombed Rome to their native Ciociaria, where they experience hunger, fear and misery. Liberation brings tragedy: Rosetta is raped by Moroccan soldiers, destroying their faith in God and people.
The book is not a novel, but a collection that mixes short stories, drama, and essay fragments, with a focus on death, power, and existential dilemmas.
The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
The collection "Confession and Other Stories" brings together lesser-known, but extremely valuable, short stories by Andrić, written mainly in the period 1920–1940, some of which were only published posthumously.
