Overview

Set in North London during the Winter of Discontent, <i>A Partisan’s Daughter</i> features the relationship between Chris, an unhappily married, middle-aged Englishman and Roza, a young Serbian woman who has recently moved to London. <br><br>While driving through Archway in the course of his job as a medical rep, Chris is captivated by a young woman on a street corner. Clumsily, he engages her in conversation, and he secures an invitation to return one day for a coffee. <br><br>His visits become more frequent and Roza starts to tell him the story of her life, drawing him increasingly into her world – from her childhood as a daughter of one of Tito’s Partisans through her journey to England and on to her more recent colourful and dangerous past in London. <br><br><i>A Partisan’s Daughter</i><b> </b>is about the power of storytelling. It is also a beautifully wrought and unlikely love story which is both compelling and moving to read.
