Newcomers by Lojze Kovačič

Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II Europe, this poignant narrative follows the life of a young boy uprooted from his home in Switzerland and thrust into the unfamiliar world of Slovenia. Through the eyes of this displaced child, the story explores themes of identity, belonging, and the harsh realities of exile. As he navigates the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, the boy's journey becomes a universal tale of resilience and the search for a place to call home amidst the turbulence of a changing world.
