![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Sara and Lejla remind us that slipping back into an old friendship is the most comfortable and impossible thing to do. WOW!” -Chris Lee, Boswell Book Company, Milwaukee, WI ![]() What do we owe the people who’ve shaped us, who taught us how to feel alive? What we know (and un-know) of our friends, our histories, and ourselves? It’s a story of how a person can misunderstand her friend and herself and then be completely wrecked and rebuilt as she grows to a new understanding of her world. Bastašić wrestles questions of obligation and understanding into one woman’s deeply personal reckoning. Now, drawn back by a long-lost childhood friend, she’s on a road trip through the Western Balkans, her own past, and a landscape scarred by social and political violence. More than a decade ago, Sara left Bosnia, never to return. A years-spanning story of an intense friendship and how history (you know, wars and stuff) weighs on people's bonds. Here is what the booksellers who nominated it had to say about the novel: Two panels of booksellers chose the Indies Introduce titles-10 adult and 10 children’s-as the best of the Summer / Fall 2021 debuts. Publishers offer special terms on these books just for participating indie booksellers. “Catch the Rabbit” has been selected for the Indies Introduce debut picks of the season in the USA. ![]()
