The novel Parnik trobi nji by the Triestine Slovene writer Boris Pahor contains many female characters and roles, seen within the context of family relations. Of particular interest are the mother and daughter figures, and how relations between men and women are presented. Through these the author, in an intriguing and subtle way transcended the black-and-white portrayal of literary characters in social realism and thus contributed to the steering of Slovene literature away from this stylistic approach in the post-war period.
