Publisher's Synopsis

Ivona has returned to her childhood home to care for her father. While there, she reconnects with the man she divorced over ten years ago and finds herself welcomed into his family life by him and his wife. But when a new man enters Ivona's life, the trio's carefully curated dynamic is disrupted, forcing a reckoning for all involved. 'Slanting Towards the Sea' explores what it means to come of age in a country younger than oneself, as it sets a sensual, decades-long love story against an emerging Croatia.
