Alone Together – Sanja Pregl

Alone Together captures the essence of human connection in a bustling environment masterfully woven into the narrative.
The book begins with Jure: husband, lover and brother who suffers a stroke. As he lies in a coma, three ladies define their relationship with him. The first is Marja his wife, the second is Andreja his lover and the third is Urška his sister. The closeness of each of them is entirely opposed to the relationship as seen and felt by the surroundings. The wife is aware, the lover thinks she knows and the sister doesn’t have the strength to accept it at least for a little while.
One of the most striking aspects of this book is its profound emotional depth. Every page is filled with genuine moments of joy, sorrow, love, and resilience, showing the author’s beautiful way of illustrating how they bind us despite our differences. To live means being sincere in relationships.
Those who appreciate the complexities of human relationships and the rich tapestry of life should read this book.
