Le cheval rouge | 
Coffee + book on the balcony before temperatures rise and I have to lower the shutters and close all windows to try and keep the flat somewhat cool inside...
The red horse tells the story of Boris, an Aegean Macedonian soldier, bundled off with his companions to the USSR in the 40s. I was unaware of that bit of European history, or indeed, the existence of the ethnic groups mentioned in the book.
I'll have to check out the 1981 Yugoslavian film
