On the contrary, this novel is and can be anything else but a good sold breaking news in the style of our stressful everyday life: a love novel, a sensual novel, a novel-corrective of the reality, a novel-horizon with widespread and multiplied aspects of points of view.<br><br><strong>No. of pp<\/strong>: 367<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Awards<\/strong> and honors:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Novel of the Year Award for 2008<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rights sold to:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Serbian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">English translation available HERE. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Latest title:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-light-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f380393bfdf09e17810ecf258924902a\">THE MONASTERY OF FUENTERRABIA (2017)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"927\" src=\"https:\/\/mai.org.mk\/macedonian-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30.-MIHAJLOVSKA-GEORGIEVA-Jagoda-2.-korica-od-The-monastery-of-Fuenterrabia.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mai.org.mk\/macedonian-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30.-MIHAJLOVSKA-GEORGIEVA-Jagoda-2.-korica-od-The-monastery-of-Fuenterrabia.jpg 585w, https:\/\/mai.org.mk\/macedonian-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30.-MIHAJLOVSKA-GEORGIEVA-Jagoda-2.-korica-od-The-monastery-of-Fuenterrabia-189x300.jpg 189w, https:\/\/mai.org.mk\/macedonian-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30.-MIHAJLOVSKA-GEORGIEVA-Jagoda-2.-korica-od-The-monastery-of-Fuenterrabia-370x586.jpg 370w, https:\/\/mai.org.mk\/macedonian-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30.-MIHAJLOVSKA-GEORGIEVA-Jagoda-2.-korica-od-The-monastery-of-Fuenterrabia-410x650.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After long years in the monastery, He departs from his monastic life.
