Zagreb, 1991. Ana Jurić 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 through time, Girl at War is an honest, generous, brilliantly written debut novel that illuminates how history shapes the individual. Sara Nović fearlessly shows the impact of the war on one young girland its legacy on all of us.
