Summary

You can run away from anything, but not from pain. In remote Cambodia, a man thinks he has managed to cut all ties with the past. But it overtakes him unwaveringly. His father is dead. The cry of the blood in him is stronger than his desire to stay where he has a wife, where a child is waiting and everything seems safe and orderly. His return to Bulgaria should be short, if possible and almost anonymous. He does not need anyone from his old life, it is enough to take care of his mother in this difficult time. But the past has been patiently waiting for him and is grabbing him. Here the strange illness he's suffered from all his life drives him into hiding again, here he discovers that his former lover has used him as a model for a successful comic book character, here somehow it seems inevitable that he'll become the kid he once was again. In order to forgive his father, he must first forgive himself. But once home, will he be able to escape again? A mature and powerful novel about fathers and sons, 'Dlani' is a modern answer to eternal questions.
