In Late Summer is written from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl killed in the August 1993 massacre in Bosnia. When a picturesque village is caught in the turmoil of war, the entire worlds of girls Ivana and Dunja and their families is blown up and swept away. Based on a personal experience, Magdalena Blazevic's novel is poetic and powerful, full of images of ordinary country life as well as the brutality of war. This is a haunting portrait of a family and a village, each affected differently by the daily realities of civil war. Compared by critics to Ingeborg Bachmann, Blazevic weaves emotion under the surface of her precise and lyrical prose.
Magdalena Blazevic, born in Zepce in 1982, is a writer from Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Her short stories have been translated into several languages, and
awarded numerous prizes. In Late Summer, winner of the 2022/2023 Tportal
Award for Best Croatian Novel, is her debut novel.
