Ballad for Emma depicts the life journey of a woman of Jewish descent who, amid the turmoil of the twentieth century, struggles both to survive and to cope with her love for a man she cannot have. Her story dovetails with that of the old Trenck's Castle, whose fate is miraculously intertwined with hers. Set in Croatia and Hungary, this book explores the dramatic position of one woman under the fascist and communist regimes that left such bloody marks on Europe.

BOOK REVIEW
Historical fiction about a Croatian woman coming-of-age in war-torn Europe.
Raguz (The Labyrinth of Vukovar, 2016) begins this sweeping tale in the early 20th century as a young Jewish woman discovers that’s she’s become pregnant by her Christian boyfriend.
In straightforward prose, this story covers nearly a full century, chronicling historical events in Croatia and Hungary right along with those in Emma’s personal life. The tale is rich with detail about the intimidation tactics of the Communist regime in Croatia (“If you
omitted something or dared to lie to us, you’ll be held accountable,” one militia man tells Emma), and about the hopelessness that many everyday people experienced, due in part to mass persecutions.
Overall, though, Raguz tells an engaging tale that sheds light on its era. A nostalgic examination of the effects of war, bigotry, and lost opportunities.
BLUE INK REVIEW
Ballad for Emma
Blanka Raguz
Publisher: AuthorHouse Pages: 737 Price: (paperback) $29.95 ISBN: 9781524651664
Reviewed: June, 2017
In this saga by Blanka Raguz, a woman’s life journey evolves against the backdrop of wars-ravaged Croatia and Hungary.
Dealing with an undesirable arranged marriage, she clings to the memory of a past relationship while struggling to survive.
Raguz offers an emotional drama filled with sacrifices and longings as social and political climates take their toll on the less fortunate and the aristocracy alike. The author’s descriptive writing breathes life into Trenck’s Castle, which becomes an ever-evolving character that transforms from elegance to a monument of decay over the course of the novel.
Nonetheless, many will enjoy the story. The heart of this tome is reflected in Emma’s words: “Those who are no longer alive continue to exist as long as they live in our memory.” For those moved by such leanings and who appreciate historical romance, Ballad for Emma should prove a largely engaging read.
Also available in hardcover and ebook.
CLARION REVIEW
Ballad for Emma
Blanka Raguz
AuthorHouse (Dec 17, 2016)
Softcover $29.95 (744pp)
978-1-5246-5166-4
This unique novel builds a romance into Croatia's history.
A sweeping tale of love and setback, Blanka Raguz's historical romance
Ballad for Emma encapsulates major events in the early twentieth century.
The story begins in Croatia and travels across Eastern Europe.
The novel is part romance, part historical document. The author, a Croatian native, interweaves Emma's story line with broader historical strokes. These historical segments are decisive and direct, explaining facts and details, but still allowing for emotional connections. They give great insight into how the world wars impacted Croatia and its people, highlighting the general crossfire they found themselves in. The wars are documented from both sides to avoid bias, leading to numerous accounts of tragedies and inspirational tales.
Emma's sections are more passionate and dramatic. Her story often involves reactions to historical goings-on and to personal turmoil, including elements such as misunderstandings, grudges, hope, and delicate relationship balances. The two writing styles balance to keep things engaging and informative.
Ballad for Emma is a unique and interesting novel that builds a romance into Croatian history.

The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
