Peter Kovach's life from his youth in Yugoslavia to his immigrant status in London is the subject of this novel. It is not your typical life, not your typical autobiographical genre either. It is a story of a life in two parts, welded together by significant historical events which were beyond his control.

This is an account of one man's journey from childhood to middle age but with an additional, major, element... It is also the account of the latter stages of the life of a nation: Yugoslavia!

The story of the decline and breakup of Yugoslavia are told through the tale of one man: for Peter Kovach it was never personal, it was always political!
