From the internationally bestselling and Giller-shortlisted author comes a poetic novel about war, loss, and the resilience of women. Eleven years after her intimate year with Kosmos in Paris, Gota, now a journalist for a Toronto travel magazine, learns of a film festival in Sarajevo where Kosmos will be with his theatre company. She takes the assignment to explore the aftermath of the Bosnian war and hopes to reconnect with him. Upon their reunion, she discovers a man and a country transformed beyond recognition. In a small café, Kosmos introduces Gota to Edina, the new woman in his life. As Gota navigates her complex feelings for Kosmos, she and Edina develop an unexpected bond. Edina, a formidable lawyer, reveals the sexual violence she and many others endured. What begins as a journey of rekindled love evolves into a passionate quest for justice, as Gota is determined to amplify their stories. Her life becomes intertwined with a community of women, leading her to The Hague to confront their abusers. The experiences Gota documents and the stories she hears will alter her life forever. Written in masterful prose, this tale of resilience explores the power of speaking out against those who seek to silence the truth.
