A Castle in Romagna
by Igor Stiks
translated from the Croatian by Tomislav Kuzmanovic
In eleven tightly woven chapters that alternate between Renaissance Italy and Tito's Yugoslavia, this novel weaves a double spiral of love intrigue and betrayal at one and the same time, Here it is Rimini, 1535, and the Croatian island of Rab, 1948, just days after Tito's momentous break with Stalin. Lives and fates are intertwined, history repeats itself, nostalgia for home is bittersweet and undying.
