In Late Summer
In Late Summer is written from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl killed in the August 1993 massacre in Bosnia.
When a picturesque village is caught in the turmoil of war, the entire worlds of girls Ivana and Dunja and their families is blown up and swept away.
Based on a personal experience, Magdalena Blazevic's novel is poetic and powerful, full of images of ordinary country life as well as the brutality of war.
This is a haunting portrait of a family and a village, each affected differently by the daily realities of civil war.
Compared by critics to Ingeborg Bachmann, Blazevic weaves emotion under the surface of her precise and lyrical prose.
