After the truth was revealed, as Dostoyevsky said: “ A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others”, those paid actresses who had spread the lies attacked Kata on a bridge and hurt her physically.

A question remains, and both in this novel and presumably in real life, it has no true answer: how is it possible that a man obsessed with lies would rather lose self-respect than try to break from their restraints?

In short, the novel is convincing, intricate, modern, and educational. The experienced writer, just like in her previously published novels, has remained a fighter for justice.

After the trilogy, The Stories of Kordun Old Man, The Storm in the Eyes of the Suffering, and The  Wounds of the Refugees, this novel is a natural result. Milka had to write it as her reaction to the consequences of the pile of lies that always fly back to the place of their origin, like a boomerang.

In the end, everyone would wish to have this book, just like all Milka’s previous novels. Most of all, this is because of its moral strength, form national believe, rarely found writing skills, and courage.
