The reason I love translated books are they educate us about many cultures and customs. Dark Mother Earth by Kristian Novak is one such book which explores the Croatian culture. Again in Asia, we don't see books about Croatian culture so this one is an absolute delight for me. I love the writing and the plot. The characters are relatable and I love them especially Matija. The book had folklore stories of Croatia which I absolutely enjoyed. But this is not an easy book to read. This book was challenging for me to read and I loved it. This is one of my favourite books in 2019.
