Every Friday, Jelal Plevljak gets into his regular Volga and drives from Split to Livno to pray at the mosque. For fifteen years, he has been driving this road back and forth every week, thinking he knows every bend and every tree, until a sudden snowfall and a flat tyre stop him on the Croatian-Bosnian border. Which door should he knock on for help - a Christian or a Muslim one? His future life, already full of adventures, depends on this decision.

This is a story about the painful loneliness of man, about faith and loss; a novel about a car and its driver, who in socialist Yugoslavia believes in Allah as sincerely as he believes in communist ideals. Written as a detective novel, Volga, Volga goes far beyond this genre, proving once again that Jergović is able to look into the deepest recesses of the human psyche and soul.
