This thesis brings an analysis and an interpretation of a “Hotel Zagorje” novel (Profil, 2010.) written by Ivana Simić Bodroţić with the emphasis on narratological aspects of narration, more precisely, the author‟s choice of infantile narrator and the internal focalization. The mentioned novel is written using the auto-narrative narration which means that the author is also the protagonist in the novel. This piece, through the eyes of a child, depicts an exiled family‟s and the whole generation‟s life, a battle with the authorities, sufferings caused by the loss of a father and a home, but also a story about friendship, first love, growing up and social relationships in the 90‟s in Croatia. Behind the voice of an infantile narrator hides a fierce critic of then-present society which had no empathy for those that were „different‟. The novel follows a period of nine years, therefore the main character is no longer a child at the end of the novel, but a fully grown and mature person. Focalization is no longer infantile as it was at the beginning and she makes mature decisions and understands everything that‟s happening around her. The writer of the novel, using a simple child‟s vocabulary, told a heartbreaking story that‟s worth of every bit of compassion. Hotel Zagorje was rewarded multiple times and became a real „hit‟ among the readers.
