Longlisted for the Women's Prize 2023**
SARAJEVO. SPRING 1992.
Each night, nationalist gangs erect barricades, splitting the diverse city into ethnic enclaves; each morning, the residents – whether Muslim, Croat or Serb – push the makeshift barriers aside.
When violence finally spills over, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety with her daughter in England. Reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a handful of weeks, she stays behind while the city falls under siege. As the assault deepens and everything they love is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops, Zora and her friends are forced to rebuild themselves, over and over. Theirs is a breathtaking story of disintegration, resilience and hope.
**PRAISE FOR BLACK BUTTERFLIES**
'It reads like a straight telling of one woman's experience and feels totally authentic… Along with human kindness, there is a quiet emphasis on the power of art: Zora's paintings, like the existence of this book, are testimony to the way that wars come and go but art goes on forever' - THE SUNDAY TIMES
'A moving, compelling, deeply human novel about love, hope and resilience in a city under siege. Everyone should read it' - EMMA STONEX, bestselling author of The Lamplighters
'Chillingly resonant with the scenes unfolding in Ukraine, Black Butterflies is a book for our time' - SARAH BURTON
'An astonishingly good debut' - LIZ NUGENT, author of Our Little Cruelties
'The best contemporary novel I have read for a long while' - SARAH BURTON, author of The Strange Adventures of H
'Intensely evocative and deeply moving… I held my breath as a I read' - RUTH GILLIGAN, RSL Ondaatje Prize-winning author of The Butchers
'Dark and yet starkly beautiful' - AMINATTA FORNA, author of The Hired Man
'Beautifully written and hauntingly evocative' - SAM BYERS, author of Perfidious Albion
'An elegy to the vibrant and inclusive society' - KEVIN SULLIVAN, author of The Longest Winter
'Immersive, incredible, a must-read' - KAREN ANGELICO, author of Everything We Are
