Fiction Family Life
A woman must leave her island home to search for her
missing sister-and confront the haunted history of her
family.
Magdalena does not panic when she learns
that her younger sister has disappeared. A free-spirit,
Jadranka has always been prone to mysterious absences. But
when weeks pass with no word, Magdalena leaves the isolated
Croatian island where their family has always lived and sets
off to New York to find her sister. Her search begins to
unspool the dark history of their family, reaching back
three generations to a country torn by war.
A
haunting and sure-footed debut by an award-winning writer,
The First Rule of Swimming explores the legacy of
betrayal and loss in a place where beauty is fused
inextricably with hardship, and where individuals are forced
to make wrenching choices as they are swept up in the tides
of history.
