Halid, a young Muslim “war hero,” returns home from the Bosnian War. Although his village was spared heavy combat, it has been ravaged by years of privation and heartbreak, and by the blood politics that continue to boil. The community is tight-knit and lively, as it has been for hundreds of years, yet alliances between friends and neighbors, among Muslims, Christians, and Gypsies, shift and twitch and explode from strain. Halid the soldier has faced his fear of enemy fire; Halid the son is afraid of the arms of his waiting mother. He is weary and alone, but home is the last place he wants to be. In this new classic of war and loss, Natasha Radojcic’s earthy prose and stirring compassion bring her characters to life to deliver the truth about war’s crushing effects on the human spirit. Her love for humanity and for language makes the joy of reading Homecoming equal to the pain of the truth it reveals.

Shunted from Yugoslavia to Cuba to Greece among her Muslim mother and her Gypsy Christian father and a battery of more and less well-meaning aunts and uncles, finally making her own way to New York City, sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued Sasha can’t seem to stay out of trouble. She ditches school. She runs away. She steals a neighbor’s potatoes. She makes friends with heroin addicts. She falls in love too early and, as far as her family is concerned, with the wrong kind of men. She rages against the unfairness of her mother’s illness and the hypocrisies of privilege and racism in Communist societies. Most important, she tells it like it is, and finds the goodness in not so obviously good people, including herself. In this picaresque narrative that is at once jagged and soulful, Natasha Radojcic has created a bittersweet coming-of-age story, an original immigrant song and a brave new character in fiction. Sasha is a strong and spectacular survivor–clear-eyed and intelligent, hard-living, always loving. You Don’t Have to Live Here is a visceral adventure about the running-from and running-to that we somehow recognize as growing up.
