  • "A married man becomes caught up in the tales of a young Yugoslavian woman he picks up in the streets."
  • "During a dreary late 1970s London winter, Chris is drawn to mysterious Roza, a Yugoslav émigrée. As their relationship develops, Roza starts to tell him the story of her life, drawing him increasingly into her world from her childhood as a daughter of one of Tito's Partisans through her journey to England and on to her more recent colourful and dangerous past in London."
  • "Chris, un hombre de mediana edad, cansado de su vida y de su matrimonio, busca alguien que ponga un aliciente en su día a día. Por primera vez en su vida se acerca a una prostituta, y así conoce a Roza, una mujer con un pasado fascinante. La historia particular de la vida de Roza se convierte en el aliciente que unirá a los dos personajes. Londres es el escenario en el que las vidas de una inmigrante ilegal yugoslava y un sencillo visitador médico inglés se verán entrecruzadas en su búsqueda del amor y la compresión."
  • "Een middelbare man denkt met weemoed aan de erotische verhalen die een jonge Servische hem opdiste."
  • "Bored, lonely, and trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage, forty-something Chris is a stranger to London's 1970s youth culture, when he propositions Roza, a Yugoslavian newcomer who spends the next few months telling Chris the story of her past."
  • "Set in North London during the Winter of Discontent, A Partisan's Daughter features the relationship between Chris, an unhappily-married, middle-aged Englishman and Roza, a young Serbian woman who has recently moved to London. While driving through Archway in the course of his job as a medical rep, Chris is captivated by a young woman on a street corner. Clumsily, he engages her in conversation, and he secures an invitation to return one day for a coffee. His visits become more frequent and Roza starts to tell him the story of her life, drawing him increasingly into her world - from her childhood as a daughter of one of Tito's partisans, through her journey to England and on to her more recent colourful and dangerous past in London."

  • "England, late 1970s. Forty-something Chris is trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage. Roza, in her twenties, the daughter of one of Tito's partisans, has only recently moved to London from Yugoslavia. One evening, Chris mistakes her for a prostitute and propositions her. Instead of being offended, she gets into his car. Over the next months Roza tells Chris stories of her past. She's a fast-talking, wily Scheherazade, saving her own life as she retells it'and Chris is rapt. This deeply moving novel of their unlikely love is also a brilliantly subtle commentary on the seductive power of storytelling. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
  • "A love story at once raw and sweetly funny, wry and heartbreakingly sad. Chris is bored, lonely, trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage. In his forties, he's a stranger to the 1970s youth culture of London, a stranger to himself on the night he invites a hooker into his car. Roza is Yugoslavian, recently moved to London, the daughter of one of Tito's partisans. She's in her twenties, but has already lived a life filled with danger, misadventure, romance, and tragedy. And though she's not a hooker, when she's propositioned by Chris, she gets into his car anyway. Over the next few months Roza tells Chris the stories of her past. Does Chris hear the stories through the filter of his own need? Does it even matter? This deeply moving novel of their unlikely love - narrated in the moment and through recollection, each of their voices deftly realized - is also a brilliantly subtle commentary on storytelling."
  • "Dans les années 1970, Chris, un représentant de commerce d'une quarantaine d'années, mène une existence ennuyeuse. Jusqu'au jour où il croise la route de Roza et tombe sous son charme. Celle-ci vit dans un squat et lui raconte qu'elle est serbe, fille d'un partisan de Tito, et que sa vie n'a été que violence et malheur. Chris a du mal à la croire et Roza décide de le chasser et disparaît."
