Girl at War by Sara Novic: Reading & Book Signing

book talks nycZagreb, 1991. Ana Juric is a carefree ten-year-old living with her family in a small apartment in Croatia’s capital. But that year, Civil War breaks out across Yugoslavia, splintering Ana’s idyllic childhood. Daily life is altered by food rations and air raid drills, and soccer matches are replaced by sniper fire. Neighbors grow suspicious of one another, and Ana’s sense of safety starts to fray. When the war arrives at her doorstep, Ana must find her way in a dangerous world. Moving back and forth in time, Girl at War is an honest, generous and brilliantly written debut novel that illuminates how history shapes the individual. Join us as we welcome Sara Novic to the Center for a discussion of her book about the impact of the war on one young girl—and its legacy on all of us. A book signing will follow the event.
