The Angel of Forgetfulness is a powerful story. It tells the story of a Slovenian man in the Austrian Carinthia during and after Nazism. With a woman's writing style and a girl's voice, she revealed the fate of the Slovenian minority in Austria to those who had previously refused to see her due to the language barrier. She convinced many. An old mother, like no other, constantly recounts memories to a girl, like no other we have ever known. She tells them day after day, as if the girl would remember them, so that later, as a woman, she would write them down. And indeed, she does. The grandmother's stories are written with a special sense of responsibility so that they would not be forgotten... The author received several prestigious awards for the novel.
