Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Before the war, there was ordinary life.Summer heat along the Vrbas River. Family gatherings crowded with cigarette smoke and coffee. A father carefully hanging wallpaper to make a house beautiful. A mother singing while she cooked. A sister studying medicine. A future that seemed certain.Then, slowly, the world began to break.In A Rose and an Open Book, Azra Selimovic traces the collapse of life in Bosnia through the intimate details history often leaves behind: whispered conversations, buses leaving at dawn, hidden money buried in gardens, paper sheets in refugee centers, and the silence that settles inside families after loss.Beginning with the death of her older sister shortly before the Bosnian War, Selimovic recounts the unraveling of Yugoslavia, the rise of fear in Banja Luka, and her family's eventual escape through Serbia, Hungary, Poland, and finally Sweden, where exile brought safety but not belonging.Written with restraint, clarity, and emotional precision, A Rose and an Open Book is a memoir about survival, grief, displacement, and the fragile rituals that preserve humanity when ordinary life disappears.For readers of literary memoir, war testimony, and stories of exile and resilience, this is a deeply personal account of what remains after home is lost.
