Nadia moves between the competing perspectives of two
survivors of the 1990s Balkan Wars who have escaped to London, only
to discover that the war has followed them there. Nadia is a
young refugee who just wants to forget the past—until Iggy starts
temping at her London office. Afraid he may be a sniper from the
war she fled, Nadia starts seeing threats everywhere, alongside
unsettling visions of her lost girlfriend, Sanja. As her volatile
connection with Iggy unravels, Nadia is forced to face the shaky,
ethical choices she made to escape the war, her survivor guilt, and
her disavowed queer sexuality. Nadia takes us to
the recent past of a war that broke apart a European country and
that presciently foreshadowed the rise of ethno-nationalism in the
West. Tense, suspenseful, and mordantly funny,
Nadia tracks the complex ways in which a past marked by
political violence can shadow and disrupt the present.
