Hicyilmaz, Gaye

YA
Part little girl, part smiling ingenue, fourteen-year-old Nina embarks alone on a journey from her native war-torn Yugoslavia to reach England and a man known to Nina only through some found letters. Hiçyilmaz's powerful writing never lets up, and the reader follows, with breathless anxiety and tension, the intensity of Nina's "brutal need" to save herself. Hiçyilmaz reminds us how much that is good and innocent is buried by war.
