Marija's Love

A wonderful novel about love, the comfort of old paintings and the impossibility of living.

Marija’s Love describes the moments on which one can build an entire life in a stunningly beautiful way.

A Finnish teenager and Marija from Serbia fall in love in Prague in the summer of 1996.
Twenty-five years after Marija has disappeared, they meet by chance at the train station of Trieste. Reunited, they continue their journey to Rome together where ancient art and the vagaries of writing await them. But the questions remain. Why did Marija disappear? What really happened all those years ago? Were the curtains in the hotel room blue or white, as Marija says? Where is the source of memories?
