Reading from front to middle, we meet the narrator's paternal line through five generations. From back to middle are portraits of the maternal line. And in a glorious middle double-page spread we see the whole extended family and can trace and invent individual stories. Petričić's gift for caricature is used joyfully in this celebration of ancestry, showing one family's variations and particular beauty.
