Žena koja je voljela knjige

Ivanka Avelini-Holjevac

The interestingly written book also reveals great unconditional love, the foundation on which these dreams are lived. Openness, unusual lyrical descriptions and sparkling wit make this book an interesting read.

The title Woman Living (Her) Dreams would be more appropriate for the book. The poor girl is still in disbelief that her wishes and dreams have come true, she is constantly looking forward to it and has the need to share that joy with others. But not to hide the sadness and hardships she was going through. Controversial, atypical, successful and elegant (knowingly) wants to be noticed. At the same time, she breaks down some fences, assumptions and stereotypes of society about what a university teacher and scientist should look like...
