​“Mother Listen to My Song” is a novel based on a true story.
Through emotional and vivid imagery, the author takes us from a childhood filled with football games, the scent of his mother’s cooking, and the warmth of family moments, to the challenges of youth, first loves, and the departure into the wider world. It is a story about growing up in the former Yugoslavia — about dreams and the longing to reach beyond the borders of the familiar.

The story unfolds aboard the legendary Orient Express, during a journey to London — a symbol of new beginnings and inner transformation. That voyage becomes more than physical movement; it is a metaphor for spiritual growth, encounters with the unknown, and the search for one’s true place in the world. 
 

The novel intertwines nostalgia, humor, and drama, while personal memories reveal a universal story of family, identity, and the quest for freedom. It offers an intimate glimpse into one time and one life — yet speaks to experiences we all share: that quiet yearning to find ourselves, even when the road leads far from home.
