Ja nisam Švabo! / I’m not a Kraut!

(Profil knjiga, Zagreb 2015.)

Is it possible that Eugen Udo Schläger – mechanical engineer, orienteering champion, butterfly fan – is not even Swabian?

A letter discovered after his mother’s death sends Udo to a remote Croatian village in search of the man who could be his father. Posing as a foreign investor with plans for wind turbines, he finds himself in a place where Tvrtko Batina is not one man, but several – and no one will discover why his pregnant mother fled to Germany in the late 1980s.

Family secrets, small-town intrigue and the search for identity intertwine in a journey where the truth lies behind too many identical names – and various techniques for creating a new past.
