Rosa, a young woman who comes from a small country town in Australia, longs for mystery, adventure, and the exotic. She is fatally attracted to the romantic image of Eastern Europe, and arrives alone in Dubrovnik in the months before the implosion of old Yugoslavia. Rosa has no idea of the politics, yet she ends up dangerously drawn into a relationship with a young Albanian on his path to becoming a political refugee. Unable to separate destiny, reality, and fantasy, she becomes a captive of her heart and a captive of the excitement and danger of the unknown. Rosa survives her ordeal at times exhilarating, at times terrifying finding within herself an unexpected strength and maturity, and ultimately finding love and belonging in the one place she had never looked. In this dreamy and delicate tale about longing, belonging, exile, love, and war, author Donna Mazza brings us an updated variation on the theme of the innocent abroad, the Romantic idealist searching for a Romantic hero.
