Books by Priscilla Morris
“Morris’s debut novel is set during the Siege of Sarajevo—a four-year ordeal in which the city’s residents were trapped in their homes without heating, power, or clean water, and subjected to daily shelling and sniper fire. It’s been shortlisted for a number of other prizes, including the Royal Society of Literature’s Ondaatje Prize (for ‘evoking the spirit of a place’) and the Author’s Club best first novel award. Will suit fans of humane and literary war novels, such as Sebastian Faulks’ Birdsong.“ Read more...
