Summary
In Stories for My Sons, Marko Vukosavovic traces his Montenegrin family history, from fleeing Ottoman Empire oppression in the Balkans in the 15th century, to enjoying boisterous family breakfasts in New Jersey in the 21st. His accounts are heartwrenching, uplifting, and hilarious all at once. He details his father’s battles against Nazi forces with a price on his head, as well as his own experience as a soldier as Yugoslavia disintegrated in the 1990s, leaving Vukosavovic as a man without a country. His vignettes paint scenes of Montenegrin weddings where gunplay is expected, childhood beach soccer tournaments, and fishing contests on the Adriatic coast, white-knuckle car chases across an African desert, as well as his quest to build a new life for his family in America.
