Estranged - Paperback

by Amra Mitrovska (Author)

How do you rebuild yourself when the world you came from still lives inside you?

Estranged follows Dall's childhood in Bosnia, a place where innocence is fragile, silence is heavy, and the aftermath of war finds its way into even the smallest corners of daily life. Her memories reveal wounds born not only from conflict, but from the complicated bonds within her family - scars that remain long after the world around her becomes quiet.

Through raw reflection, Dall confronts:

- The lingering effects of childhood trauma shaped by war

- Generational pain passed down in silence

- The truths hidden beneath loyalty and expectation

- The resilience of a girl determined to understand herself

By gathering the pieces of her past, she discovers that healing does not rewrite the story - it rewrites her.

Estranged is raw, haunting, and deeply human - a perfect read for those drawn to trauma memoirs, intimate coming-of-age stories, and emotional literary fiction.
