Dust and Diamonds
Introduction
When Terry Hill and his family move to Zagreb, communism is history. Croatia is independent and hoping for better days. All might have gone well, had General Pantolic and other members of the new aristocracy not plundered the nation's wealth. Soon, Croatia's promising, democratic future looks as disheartening as the past. Applying for EU membership simply makes matters worse.
Characters and Conflict
Luka Tadic copes by exploiting the system. His brother seeks revenge. The British ex-pats fight culture shock and Jana Filipovic succumbs to threats.
About the Book
Loosely based on fact, Dust and Diamonds gives Croatian transition a truly human face.
