Flights of Love: Stories, by Bernhard Schlink

sedam priča međusobno nepovezanih, ali svima im je zajedničko da ocrtavaju ljubavne i neljubavne priče i sudbine koje proizlaze iz njih. pisano nepretenciozno, bez nepotrebne dramatike, humanost nalazimo u svakom od mnogobrojnih likova... svi su oni - ljudi od krvi i mesa, od osmijeha i suza, od ponosa i krivice, od pokušaja i pogrešaka. u svakoj priči postoji "okret", "klik" koji se može dogoditi u svakome od nas: presjek čovječanstva kroz 230 stranica.

„Flights of Love“ is a collection of seven short stories about love and the idea of love, guilt, habit and so much more. Schlink’s writing is top notch. Not every story is exactly my cup of tea but nevertheless Schlink remains one of my favourite writers ever.

People who are in love should not read love stories.
