Evocative and haunting

Book: Winters in the South
Location: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Croatia
Author: Norbert Gstrein

Review Author: johnguybooks

Location

Content

This book starts and finishes in Vienna but takes you for most of the action to Buenos Aires and Croatia. It brings alive the unreality of BA and the expats there and the madness of the Croatian war when Yugoslavia disintegrated. You feel the shadow of unfinished business from the Second World War hanging over relationships and driving the behaviour of the Croats as a nation and the characters in the book. Beautifully translated from German the prose has a pace which helps you to feel you are right there.
