Catch the rabbit

“Catch the Rabbit” is a story about two women and their complex friendship. Twelve years after their last meeting, Sara receives a phone call from Lejla, after which she decides to go on a road trip from Mostar to Vienna, in order to find Armin, Lejla’s long-lost brother. The journey will prove to be much more than a simple reunion of old school friends: the burden of their shared story at times becomes too heavy. “Lana Bastašić… stands out with the maturity of her novelistic writing, with her authentic narrative voice, with the specific energy of the narration and, most importantly, with the high literary standards she sets even in her debut novel.” Dubravka Ugrešić “Lana Bastašić’s novel about two young women who plunge into post-war Bosnia like two Alices in Wonderland is a wise, energetic, passionate novel, which announces a great talent.” Aleksandar Hemon
