Recensione

“Concise and poetic; [Radojãiç] conveys Sasha’s peculiar strength in a few well-chosen words.”
—The Detroit News and Free Press

“The author's beautifully restrained and composed prose has a tactile feel, and Sasha's compelling first-person narration boosts the story...Rags to riches, Slavic style.”
–Kirkus Reviews


“Intensely told...There are no pat answers by the end of Sasha’s story, but here is a sense of hope and a feeling that no matter the odds, she will persevere.”
–Bust
“This is a cold-eyed, hot-blooded novel, full of indelible small moments and without a trace of sentimentality or unearned uplift. Yet it gives an absolutely convincing account of a young woman’s self-redemption. Its pitilessly sharp insights are surgeon’s knives in the hands of an author with an ultimately compassionate heart and spirit.”
–David Gates, author of Preston Falls

“Every once in a while you hold in your hands a novel that is also an entire world. From the former Yugoslavia to Manhattan’s Lower East Side, from communist Havana to American-occupied Athens, Ms. Radojcic’s unforgettable heroine always flies against the prevailing winds. We hold our breath, hoping that she will one day land, while also hoping that this stunningly written novel will go on forever.”
–Gary Shteyngart, author of The Russian Debutante’s Handbook
“Natasha Radojcic has fashioned an uncompromising and beautifully crafted novel out of rough and complex elements that would be daunting to a lesser novelist. Her vision is stark, her voice clear as ice and so compelling I read the book in one sitting. The redemption Ms. Radojcic chronicles does not come easily, and it resonates long afterward. She is a special writer who surely has a long career before her.”
–Nicholas Christopher, author of Veronica

Praise for Homecoming

“Natasha Radojcic has pulled off something rarely seen in contemporary fiction: a tragedy. Homecoming is a disturbing, deeply persuasive work, rife with fascinating detail about a part of the world that’s still quite mysterious to most Americans.”
–Jennifer Egan, author of The Invisible Circus

“Tightly spun with raw emotion, Homecoming succeeds in encompassing a totality of humanity . . . Expertly and effortlessly rendered.”
–The Philadelphia Inquirer
