مكافآتBlack Butterflies by Priscilla Morris
Shortlisted for this year's Women's Prize, Black Butterflies is a beautifully written debut novel by Priscilla Morris that tells the haunting and terrifying story of the siege of Sarajevo. War can creep up on a population: it can begin ever so gradually as freedoms are slowly eroded before suddenly reaching a tipping point, erupting and changing lives and families forever.
Historical fiction like this doesn't just tell a story; it allows us to step directly into the past, offering vital insights into the profound experiences of ordinary people during wartime.
This story centers on a landscape artist as she witnesses her city crumble from the shelling of snipers. Navigating the daily realities of the Bosnian War, finding solace and purpose in creativity as the city faces unimaginable hardship. One of the greatest novels you can read to know history from the point of view of the people and the lives that went through it.
"This debut novel will transport you back to Europe's most recent war." - The Times
"a lyrical, devastating, and timely love letter to war-torn Sarajevo." - The Guardian
