Description
The Albanian, winner of the 2005 T. A. G. Hungerford Award for Fiction, tells the story of Rosa, a young woman from a small country town in Australia. Longing for mystery, adventure, and the exotic, she is fatally attracted to a romantic image of Eastern Europe.
Rosa finds herself alone in Dubrovnik in the months before the implosion of the old Yugoslavia, unaware of the political turmoil. She becomes dangerously involved with a young Albanian on his path to becoming a political refugee. Unable to distinguish between destiny, reality, and fantasy, Rosa becomes a captive of her heart, swept away by the excitement and danger of the unknown.
Despite the exhilarating and terrifying ordeal, Rosa survives, discovering within herself an unexpected strength and maturity. Ultimately, she finds love and belonging in the one place she had never thought to look.
In this dreamy and delicate tale about longing and belonging, exile, love, and war, Donna Mazza presents a modern take on the theme of the innocent abroad—the Romantic idealist searching for a Romantic hero.
