Customer Reviews

Inspiring

Wow! What a lesson in survival. Sasha is a touching little fighter raising her hand and saying: NO! Every woman should read this book.

Fascinating

this is what I call-- strange characters. In Natasha Radojcic's book you find yourself falling for the "wrong people"- the strippers, the drug dealers. These people who should be in jail end up in your heart, and you strart to wonder, how did they get there. I loved this book in Italian. But when I read it in translation, I realized why people say, that the poetry is always lost in translation. It is even more touching in English.

Stunning

After devouring Homecoming I eagerly anticipated Radojcic's next book. I was not disappointed--her current work is stunning and I am hungry for more. Let's hope Radojcic continues to share her voice for a long time to come.

Wow

I read this book in one breath hoping that Sasha would make it. She reminds me of Jean Paul Belmondo's performance in BREATHLESS back in the days movies were really good.
