Description

Girl at War book’s compelling story of the young Ana Jurić, a carefree girl living in Zagreb, whose life is torn apart when war breaks out across Yugoslavia. With a world that now holidays on the shores of the Croatian Riviera, it is easy to forget the terror that plagued this region just a generation ago.

Ana escapes to study in the USA and with it, Novic’s story presents not just a literal war, but a war of the mind, a girl at war with herself, her past, her memories and her loss.

Girl at War appeared in Feminist Fairytales which focused on stories of women going their own way.
