Kako smo lomili noge

What can happen to boys when they fall in love is a question that torments both young and old readers. Adults will remember, and young people will question. Miro Gavran shapes even the biggest doubts into easy statements. Through the softness of the statements, he offers answers. How We Broke Our Legs, one of the first Croatian novels that also addresses the Homeland War, shows that a story about family, generational communication, in short, about our homelands and the people in them, only makes sense if it tells of individual human destiny.

There are countless similarities between our biographies and theirs, regardless of where we took our first steps and felt the power of a fateful kiss. Gavran is certainly a writer who embraces his readers, with gentle steps, on a path on which he will never break a leg.
