Nadia is a young Bosnian refugee who just wants to forget the past-until Iggy starts temping at her London office. Afraid he may be a sniper from the war she fled, Nadia starts seeing threats everywhere, alongside unsettling visions of her lost girlfriend and secret lover, Sanja. As her volatile connection with Iggy unravels, Nadia is forced to face the shaky ethical choices she herself made to escape the war, her survivor's guilt and (underpinning both) her disavowed queer sexuality. Nadia takes us to the recent past of a war that broke apart a European country and presciently foreshadowed the rise of ethno-nationalism in the West. Tense, suspenseful, and mordantly funny, Nadia tracks the complex ways in which a past marked by political violence can shadow and disrupt the present"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 1 $3 Copy 1; $c Gift ; $d 2023. $5 IaU. 650 0 $a English literature $z Australia $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Bosnians $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Bosnia and Herzegovina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $x Psychological aspects $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Post-traumatic stress disorder $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Yugoslav War, 1991-1995 $z Bosnia and Herzegovina $x Influence $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Psychological fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 776 08 $i Online version: $a Evans, Christine Mary. $t Nadia $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2023] $z 9781609389109 $w (DLC) 2022056837 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011405.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49B987D8B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
