Description
Jasmina Odor’s rich, sensual writing invites us to step into the shoes of Croatian immigrants living in Canada, and the Croatian soldiers and families who remain behind. Each passionate story in this collection varies in perspective, and yet all share undertones of the trauma of life during wartime. “My first impression of Jasmina Odor’s work was of fiction precisely made in order to capture chaotic times, vivid emotions and lurking danger. ”—André Alexis, author of Fifteen Dogs To learn more about this publisher, click here: http://bit. ly/2KwevM6

Reviews
“My first impression of Jasmina Odor’s work was of fiction precisely made in order to capture chaotic times, vivid emotions and lurking danger. I read her early stories but I felt then — as I still feel — that I was reading the work of an experienced writer, someone who knows things I am grateful to learn. ”
— André Alexis, Giller Prize-winning author of Fifteen Dogs
