We Trade Our Night for Someone Else’s Day

by Ivana Bodrozic · 2021

Set in a city on the periphery of Croatia and Serbia, this political thriller explores the lingering trauma of the ex-Yugoslavia wars. The narrative follows Nora, a journalist investigating a crime of passion involving a teacher and her student, while simultaneously seeking justice for her own father's mysterious murder. The novel examines how a new generation struggles to extricate itself from the violent history and unresolved crimes of the past in a city where ethnic divisions remain deeply entrenched.
