Dry Season. Gabriela Babniik

Gabriela Babniks novel Dry Season breaks the mould of what we usually expect from a writer from a small, Central European nation. With a global perspective, Babnik takes on the themes of racism, the role of women in modern society and the loneliness of the human condition.
Dry Season is a record of an unusual love affair. Anna is a 62yearold designer from Slovenia and Ismael is a 27yearold from Burkino Faso who was brought up on the street. What unites them is their loneliness, a tragic childhood and the dry hamartan season.
