Book Description

DesireA force unseen, yet always present.In the depths of our souls – It lingers – silently urging us forward.A paradoxical dance in which the things that we yearn for mostAlways elude our grasp.Life’s irony lies in our desiresThe dreams that tantaliseThe passions that consumeThe heart’s eternal quest.Desire, like an intricate tapestry, wove its web into Graham’s life, tainted by the enduring ache of her absence – this tale – a mere expression of his everlasting love, or an enigmatic abyss brimming with concealed truths and untamed yearnings?

Born of Serbian heritage and raised in Kazakhstan, Austria, and Switzerland, Barbara Matijevic has integrated her multicultural upbringing into her writing that is not apparent in retrospect, but is rather a delicate whisper in the wind—a sensation that lingers within the unspoken spaces between the lines.


Barbara’s profound affinity for the sea is a cornerstone of her life, having grown up sailing the Mediterranean with her family. The sea’s enigmas often seep into her writing, becoming a powerful metaphor for life’s complexities.


Writing, her closest companion since childhood, developed with poetry and evolved into prose complemented by melodic undertones. Barbara’s style of writing is poetic, resounding with the boundless sea. She relishes in developing novel narratives, analogous to plunging into uncharted waters, guiding her writing toward unseen horizons as a writer.

    I've read The Aeonian three times, and each time I've read it, I've uncovered something new. At first, I was struck by the raw emotion, then the hidden symbolism, and finally the more profound questions about love, loss, and desire. At only 64 pages, it's concise yet powerful, carrying a weight that lingers long after the final word. The prose has a distinct, poetic rhythm that makes it impossible to forget, and every time I return to it, I leave with a fresh perspective. This is not a typical fantasy. It is something rarer. A book that speaks directly to the heart, one that grows with you as you read and re-read it. It has quickly become the book I recommend most often, and I cannot suggest it strongly enough. Give it a chance, and let it stay with you.
