Description - Night as It Falls by Jakuta Alikavazovic
Paul, a student who works as a night guard in a hotel to make ends meet, falls under the spell of Amelia, the young woman who rents room 313. Everything about her is a mystery: where she goes, what she does - and where she comes from.
Paul and Amelia enter into a love affair, but it is an ill-fated dance informed by sex, power and class struggles. One day Amelia suddenly disappears. Unknown to Paul, she has traveled to Sarajevo in search of her mother and to attempt to uncover the links that connect her personal history to the civil war that created ruptures that still affect Europe today.
In this passionate, sexy - and often beguilingly wry - novel, Jakuta Alikavazovic delivers a work rich in thoughts on modernity, prejudice and human fallibility. It is the first work in English by a major European literary star and establishes the arrival of a virtuoso and blazing voice.
