Girl at War
By Sara Nović
336 pages;
Random House
Imagine Scout Finch adrift in war-ravaged Croatia, and you've
got Ana Jurić, the heroine of Nović's audacious first novel. As the Balkan
conflict escalates, the 10-year-old plays amid blackouts and air raids until a
tragedy compels her to flee to America. A decade later, she returns to witness
her country’s tenuous rebirth and grapple with lingering trauma.
