Ivona has returned to her childhood home to care for her father. While there, she reconnects with the man she divorced over ten years ago and finds herself welcomed into his family life by him and his wife. But when a new man enters Ivona's life, the trio's carefully curated dynamic is disrupted, forcing a reckoning for all involved.
Slanting Towards the Sea explores what it means to come of age in a country younger than oneself, as it sets a sensual, decades-long love story against an emerging Croatia. From the cobbled alleyways of Cavtat, a small town near Dubrovnik, to the rugged, glimmering coastline of Zadar, and the bustling streets of Zagreb in the early 2000s, this is a story of longing, buried resentment and claiming a life of your own.
Lidija Hilje is a Croatia-based author. Before becoming a novelist, she was a practicing attorney-at-law, spending her days trying cases before Croatian courts. She lives in Zadar, Croatia, with her husband and two children. When she's not writing or coaching writers, she can be found sipping coffee with her husband on one of her hometown's piazzas, or scrapbooking and buying too many books with her girls.
