A major new novel by Jack Kersh, author of "Hotel Sarajevo". Audrey Miland is a precocious but damaged soul whose beauty shines forth in magical ways. She and failed writer Jack Strabler are two hurt ones searching for safety in love, but finding grandeur instead. Natalya is a "staggering work . . . a rare book that captures the irresistibility and impossibility of a relationship with such honesty and simplicity. The characters are authentic, true in absolutely every way."---Jon Rabinowitz, Turtle Point Press, New York "a modern-day version of Nabokov's 'Lolita' . . . a tragic love story"-- Kirkus Reviews

A boy and his dog confront the very real horrors of modern-day slavery in Brazil. An epic tale of adventure. By the author of "Natalya" and "Hotel Sarajevo"

This is the story of Alma, a 14 year old girl coming of age in a city ravaged by war and anarchy. Alma is a plain but precocious adolescent, a daydreamer who has taken up residence with a group of teenage war orphans in the abandoned Hotel Sarajevo. They live as a family for more than a year scavenging for their daily needs.Hotel Sarajevo is a powerfully evocative novel of exquisitely worked moods and images and Alma, the narrator, is a complex fictional character. She is at once a child playing with her rag doll, a sexually aware teenager, and a young woman with highly developed self-analytical survival skills.This empathetic first novel is a stunning exploration of psychological trauma and a poignant affirmation of life."A haunting, masterful work." -"Kirkus Reviews",starred review, August 15, 1997Winner of the New Voices Award, Book-of-the-Month-Club, 1997/1998
