.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection of stories is made up of seventeen stories, thematically split into three parts. Even if every story is a psychological sketch of the way of thinking and of the psyche of its main characters, a part of the stories focuses on the dynamics of marriages, especially those on the verge to break up and those in which incompatibilities come to the surface, keeping the partners together by inertia. In the story \u201cAfrican Violet\u201d (\u201cAfri\u010dka ljubi\u010dica\u201d), <\/em>the hero transfers all ofhis attention and feelings on the plant, the African violet, because he can\u2019t express them to his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The skillful control over style and language enables the author to express her opinions without detours or twines, elements which always threaten the works which rely on psychology. Her stories are modern but without the nowadays modern experimentation. Most of all, they are readable and bracing. [S1] <\/p>\n\n\n\n
