“Bugenvila koju sam početkom devedesetih posadila s ocem već dugo

je ono najljepše na kući. Mama je obožava i ponosi se njome.

Pretpostavljamo da se žila probila do nekog izvora hrane i vode, možda

kanalizacije pa je izrasla tako velika i prekrasna. Purpurni cvjetovi

pojavili bi se s početkom ljeta, na tisuće njih, i sve do zime davali bi

raskoš meni dragoj, ali nimalo raskošnoj i objektivno ne baš prelijepoj ulici

koja se zove kako se zove, iako u njoj nema murtile ni zelenila

osim u pokojem pitaru. Bugenvila je obgrlila čitavu kuću svojim dramatičnim bokorima,

pa kuća kamena i bijela sa zelenim škurama,izgleda kao dom nekih sretnih ljudi

bez problema. Ali, mi i jesmo bile ti ljudi, samo s problemima. Sretni

ljudi s problemima, pomislila sam da je to moguće, taj tren.”

Ljeta s Marijom, Fraktura, 2022.

Singer In The Night

is an outstanding example of contemporary European writing. A complex construction for a confusing time. This is a novel which prompts the realisation that much of what we remember is formed from the residue of our mistakes. Regrets are an inescapable part of our memories. Yet we don’t want to stop remembering.

Dublin Review of Books

This book is entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time, stimulating and enjoyable to read and to discuss. We recommend it especially because Olja Savičević’s style is unique, fresh and innovative, young but mature in talent, and it is rendered brilliantly into English by Celia Hawkesworth.

Part road trip, part social comment, part metaphor and part love story, above all this is an exploration of memory, with some fittingly memorable twists along the way. It is not Nightingale that Clementine is moving towards on this turbulent journey, but her past, her memories, and herself. This reflection on the fragility of memory – both personal and historical – is a poignant, innovative and politically engaged book that deserves attention.
