Fathers and Forefathers is a novel written by the Serbian author Slobodan Selenić (Serb: Слободан Селенић).

The novel is set in Belgrade, just before World War II, and it covers over fifty years of Serbian history.

It tells the story of a young Englishwoman, Elizabeth, and Steven, a Serb who meet at University in England and fall in love.

Through Elizabeth's letters home it is revealed that she is having difficulties adapting to Serbian culture, although Steven's narrative provides a very different take on events.

Their son, Mihajlo, is ashamed of his mixed parentage and rebels radically against his English roots.
