Books by Erica J. Debeljak
“Debeljak was living in New York when she met a handsome Slovene man at a cocktail party. She ended up moving to Slovenia with him, living in the capital, Ljubljana. She faces the classic struggles that foreigners take on when moving to a new country; the language, the bureaucracy, the differences in culture – and she writes very entertainingly, with great humour and honesty. It’s a revealing and often poignant account of her relationship with her husband, her husband’s family, and Slovenia in general, and later, her experience of raising a family in a country that does some things quite differently to her American homeland.” Read more...

The best books on Slovenia, recommended by Sam Baldwin
Slovenia has the organised, modern infrastructure of Western Europe, the laid-back lifestyle of Southern Europe, and a generous seasoning of Balkan spice—as well as a Mediterranean coastline with hot summers, Alpine mountains with snowy winters, Tuscany-like terraced vineyards, and caves like Lord of the Rings, says British writer Sam Baldwin. He recommends books to get to know the country he fell in love with and now lives in.
