📖 About The Book

In this humorous and vivid memoir, Vesna Maric takes you through her harrowing yet uplifting journey as a refugee from Bosnia during the onset of the war. At the age of sixteen, Vesna fled her homeland, embarking on a journey aboard a convoy of coaches carrying refugees to Penrith, North England.

Bluebird is not your typical refugee story. It is never self-pitying or grave, but rather a refreshing and immensely readable account filtered through the eyes of a young teenager with a sharp attitude. Vesna's storytelling is infused with brilliant comic timing, making this memoir an engaging read.

From her departure from Bosnia to her eventual return years later, Bluebird offers an unforgettable perspective on war, displacement, and resilience. Unlike many books on refugees, Vesna's story is told with warmth and wit, making it an enjoyable yet deeply moving memoir.

A perfect read for those who are interested in real-life stories filled with humor, resilience, and the human spirit’s ability to adapt and survive.
