About the author About the author – Ljiljana Šarac When life closes one door on you, don’t force it – another one will open. You will cheer for them as you would cheer for yourself. The heroes of this novel are seemingly ordinary people in whose actions we can all recognize ourselves – in their mistakes, hopes, steps backwards and, even more, forwards, and in their desire to find happiness and love. This is not just a story about a family, friendship, adultery, and the crisis of middle age, but also about an unplanned pregnancy and a relationship with a younger man. And the idea of love, as it usually happens, is waiting in the place where she least expects it… Her new life circumstances bring her to a re-examination: What is it that she wants from marriage? What can she agree to and is it worth sacrificing the chance of a new love for the sake of the illusion of marital happiness? Searching for answers, the heroine experiences a renaissance and realizes that she has been a slave to numerous prejudices. But, when she discovers that her “perfect” husband Ben has been unfaithful to her, her world is turned upside down. Hope is a dedicated mother and sister, a faithful wife and a professionally accomplished woman.
