Plot

The novel tells the story of a small family that moves from the city to a large, dilapidated farmhouse in the Slovenian countryside following the breakdown of Yugoslavia. The family's dream of a peaceful new life is shattered when a number of eccentric relatives arrive, including Cousin Vladimir, a former partisan, Uncle Vinko, an accountant who wants to grow the world's largest cabbage, Aunt Mara and her daughter Elisabeth, and Uncle Schweik, a war hero who everyone assumed was dead. The story is narrated by the family's young son. Through a series of absurd and humorous events, Flisar uses the family's interactions to comment on the nature of social cohesion and freedom. The novel also explores deeper themes of identity and the lingering emotional and historical scars of war. ^{[3] [4] [5]}
