“The Museum of Lost Love” (2019)
Tyler is in therapy. Katia and Goran are in love. On a summer trip to Zagreb, the couple discover an unusual museum that displays mementos of broken relationships. Inside, Goran stumbles upon an exhibit that seems to be addressed to him, from a girl he met in a Sarajevo refugee camp at age fourteen. What follows is a whirlwind summer of reconnecting with lost pasts: Goran confronts the youth he lost during the Yugoslav Wars, Katia heads to Brazil to find her roots, and Afghanistan veteran Tyler pours out his soul. Set against alternating backdrops of violent circumstances, this novel is a soulful testament to the resilience of the human heart.
“Mary of Kivu” (2016)
Mary of Kivu has a reputation as a miraculous healer. Queues of sick people wait outside her home near the Congolese-Rwandan border in Central Africa. Keith Masterson, an American journalist, is determined to unravel the story of this mysterious woman, hoping to find something to add color to his reports on war, violence, and poverty. Against all odds, she decides to see him and tells him a story she has told no-one before.
“The Afghan Vampires Book Club” (2015)
The letter was headed 'The Afghan Vampires Book Club : An Invitation.' We were to gather the most improbable, disturbing and unbelievable stories coming out of the two-and-a-half decades of the Afghan War. 'The goal, my dear friends, is to figure out if the story is true or pure invention.'
