Description
Zagreb, 1991. Ana's life is forever changed when civil war breaks out across Yugoslavia, shattering her idyllic childhood. As food rations and air raid drills become part of daily life, soccer matches are replaced by sniper fire, and neighbours grow suspicious of one another. Ana must find a way to navigate this treacherous world, even as her sense of safety begins to fray. Years later, in New York, Ana is haunted by the memories of war - secrets she keeps from those closest to her. Her decision to return to Croatia after a decade away is motivated by a desire to make peace with the place she once called home. As Ana confronts her past and the country's difficult history, she must come to terms with how history shapes the individual. This powerful debut novel explores the impact of war on one young girl - and its legacy that continues to resonate today.
