A Lullaby for No One's Vuk

By Ksenija Popović

From an award-winning novelist and playwright from the Balkans comes A Lullaby for No One's Vuk-at once an intimate tale of survival and a fierce indictment of institutional neglect.

A girl without a name. A boy everyone wants to claim. A system that swallows them whole.

Klara and Vuk have grown up in an orphanage where the rules are clear: don't get too close, don't expect kindness, never let anyone see you break. She escapes through music. He sees the world through a camera lens. Their love is fragile and urgent, and together, they dream of something more.

But dreams don't last long here.

When Vuk is taken in by a wealthy artist, it seems like a way out. What follows will shatter everything Klara thought she knew-about him, about herself, about what it means to survive.

A Lullaby for No One's Vuk is a dark story about the brutality of institutions, the ache of first love, betrayal, and what it means to survive in a world that would rather forget you.
