LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016 Growing
up in Zagreb in the summer of 1991, 10-year-old Ana Juric is a
carefree tomboy; she runs the streets with her best friend, Luka,
helps take care of her baby sister, Rahela, and idolizes her
father. But when civil war breaks out across Yugoslavia, football
games and school lessons are supplanted by sniper fire and air raid
drills. The brutal ethnic cleansing of Croats and Bosnians
tragically changes Ana's life, and she is lost to a world of
genocide and child soldiers; a daring escape plan to America
becomes her only chance for survival. Ten years later she returns
to Croatia, a young woman struggling to belong to either country,
forced to confront the trauma of her past and rediscover the place
that was once her home.
