Sa bati din palme cu o singura mana

In 1954, a woman leaves a hut in Australia and vanishes. Her daughter, Sonja, is three years old at the time. She can recall just one thing: a lullaby. After thirty-five years, Sonja returns to learn why her mother left. She meets her father, whose rage once drove her away.

Richard Flanagan’s novel links a family’s pain with the past. The Nazis ruled Slovenia and left scars on Sonja’s parents. She must face the harm this caused them. The story explores loss, exile, and the hope that love can heal.

This paperback is in Romanian and came out in 2021. It forms part of Litera’s Carte pentru toti series.
