Balkan Rhapsody is a historical novel based on the internal and external exile of the author’s Bulgarian fictionalised grandmother Miriam and her young family during the 1920s and 1930s. A tale of two coastal cities connected through the tumultuous waterways of the Black Sea, Miriam’s story begins in her native Burgas and follows her journey to Istanbul, where Eastern Orthodox and Muslim traditions and beliefs both unite and tear families apart. |
