Description
Vesna Goldsworthy recounts her life story, tracing the paths of her Serbian and English families, and her experiences as a young poet who left Yugoslavia for England in 1986. Her journey was marked by war, exile, and a successful media and academic career.
Goldsworthy's narrative is intertwined with the tumultuous events of her homeland's disintegration, as she broadcast news of its collapse while her family faced bombardment and displacement. The book also explores her personal struggles, including a cancer diagnosis and its aftermath.
Recorded for her son, this memoir offers a poignant account of one woman's life, shaped by the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging in a rapidly changing world.
