The plot of the novel Necklace from Sanliurfa takes place in the eighties and nineties, intertwined with the bloody and tragic period in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the last war. The literary creation of the character of Gjylija a tragic Albanian beauty, who is torn between her deep love for Sinan and the moral constraints that shaped her ethically, reveals the writer Ruzdija Adzovic as a subtle observer of human destinies. The character of Gjylija, with its artistic embodiment, can go on the index of the most developed female characters in the literature that developed in the language spoken by Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats and Montenegrins.
The question of whether Milan's death is a fateful expression of justice or the revenge of a brother whose sister he abused, provides the reader with that questionable indifference that only elite literature can flow. The role of the necklace, which the main character Sinan bought in Sanliurfa when he was at the international folklore festival and is shown to be the initial means for the death of Milan and Gjylija, is also shadowed by mysticism.
The reader is left with an open question whether that thorn, which Sinan gave to his 'blood-brother' Milan, caused the tragedy as a cause or as a consequence.
Guided by his excellent novel The Necklace from Sanliurfa, Ruzdija Adzovic entered prose fiction through its main door.
