In Late Summer is written from the perspective of a 14-year-old girl killed in the August 1993 massacre in Bosnia. When a picturesque village is caught in the turmoil of war, the entire worlds of girls Ivana and Dunja and their families is blown up and swept away. Based on a personal experience, Magdalena Blazevic's novel is poetic and powerful, full of images of ordinary country life as well as the brutality of war. This is a haunting portrait of a family and a village, each affected differently by the daily realities of civil war. Compared by critics to Ingeborg Bachmann, Blazevic weaves emotion under the surface of her precise and lyrical prose.

"Powerful on war, poignant on friendship and childhood, lyrical on hope. An impressive, strong and original voice, which touched me particularly, having spent fifteen years litigating these issues in various courts." -- Philippe Sands "In Late Summer is like a song of innocence in the face of war. Magdalena Blažević creates a special rhyme and melody to tell the story of two young girls who are full of hope and joy, while their horizon is surrounded by unspoken evil. This is a book of promise for a beautiful world with the language of life." -- Burhan Sönmez, President International PEN International"Permeated with beauty and pain, Magdalena Blažević's world sucks you in from the first pages. She has drawn and immemorialised a microcosm where love dwells forever, and where nobody is safe from the virus of war. It is a resoundingly timely and timeless story." -- Kapka Kassabova"A beautiful and terrifying book about a female world, consistently told until the end from the women’s perspective." -- Miljenko Jergović
