In the little town of Budua on the Adriatic, Janko Markovic and Milos Bellacic seal the Slav bond of sworn brotherhood. Narrated by a local voice steeped in superstitions about shaving, nail-paring and new moons, the story follows them through feast days, duck shooting and a crime that tests their loyalty along the coast from Cattaro to Ragusa.
An unusual novel of South Slav life and customs, full of local colour rarely found in English fiction. Download the free EPUB.
