Imagine this – one moment, one glance, and a field of lavender that remembers everything! His heart nearly stopped, his lungs almost gave out when he saw a girl walking through the lavender, searching the horizon over the Danube. That scene? Peace, silence, memory, and longing all in one. As if the entire scent of the past gathered into a bluish haze, while golden threads of light played in her hair.
“Lavender Field” isn’t just a plant; it’s a story for those who believe meetings don’t happen by chance. Loves we never forget, wounds that don’t hurt but become part of the most beautiful memories. And that’s why, this Saturday, July 12th, with the daily newspaper Kurir, you get a gift – a novel that will remind you of tenderness, silence, and the power of emotions that never fade.
But wait, there’s more! While we bask in the scent of lavender, the world around us doesn’t rest. From the fire that engulfed Tesla’s science center in Wardencliff, New York, to the hellish heat forcing us to dress like we’re in a desert. Fire inspectors battle strong winds and high temperatures, while Serbia gets its first tourist passport in Subotica – a unique product promising an unforgettable city tour.
And as we fight fires and heatwaves, political tensions don’t ease. General Milan Jolović claims there is no genocidal trait in the Serbian gene pool, while the tribunal in Srebrenica writes history as it pleases. All this while secret underground rooms hide beneath Belgrade’s Kalemegdan, and people wait for air conditioner repairs like salvation.
In this chaos, “Lavender Field” is like an oasis of peace and memory. But is that enough? Can the scent of lavender save us from the reality around us? Or is it just another fairy tale Kurir brings us to forget our problems?
If you’ve ever wondered what a mix of poetry and reality looks like, here’s your chance to experience it. And if it all seems like too much for one day, just remember – love and memories are what keep us afloat. And maybe, just maybe, one field of lavender can change everything.
Now, take a look at the novel, take a deep breath, and tell us – have you ever felt a scent that changes your life? Or is it just another bedtime story? Write to us, laugh, get mad, but don’t leave the scent of lavender unanswered!
