Broken April
About This Novel
The story revolves around a special traditional custom in Albania's past. According to the code of law that governs the northern plateau region of Albania, if a person is killed, his family must avenge him with blood for blood. The protagonist Gioago's brother was killed by his enemy. He avenged his brother and successfully killed his enemy on March 17. From then on his life left him and he could not escape his fate. Before being chased by the family of the deceased, he got a thirty-day truce agreement, so his April was broken into two parts. Before April 17, it was safe and "white", and then it was desperate and "black." Intertwined with Jorge's fate is a newlywed couple. They come from Tirana, the capital of Albania, and are full of yearning for plateau culture. The bride Diana was uncontrollably attracted to Giorgi, whom she had only met once, and even left her newlywed husband to find this mysterious young man. At the same time, Giorgi also wanted to meet Diana again before April turned black. The novel was adapted into the movie "Behind the Sun", which was released in 2012.

Piqued my interest in the Albanian Codex. The translation is so bad
