About this title

Synopsis

Book by Besson, Patrick; Nicole Irving [Translator]

Reviews

Brigitte, the title character's daughter, interviews six speakers to uncover her beautiful Croatian mother's past. Starting with the present, she gets back as far as 1937, having traveled to Argentina, Italy, and Yugoslavia. She listens to her father, her mother's lesbian girl friend, and a sorry set of refugees, spies, and abused, amoral women. As Brigitte goes back in time, the political context becomes dominant. Because the characterizations are good and the plot intriguing, a reader tends to ignore the single voice in which all six interviewees speak and the scandalously explicit details they relate to a woman's daughter. Anglicizing Serbo-Croatian spellings and translating Serbo-Croatian expressions would have helped. Marilyn Gaddis Rose, SUNY at Binghamton
