Border Angels
“In the ground-floor bedroom of number 62, Lena woke from a shallow sleep, thinking she had heard a cry, female and frightened, from one of the houses opposite—but it might have been just a dream. The sound of doors banging shut and keys turning in locks had haunted her mind all night.
She climbed out of bed and got dressed, picking her way round an empty wine bottle and a glass. After checking that no one was watching, she stepped out the back door and into a field overgrown with brambles. ...There were no hedges or fences separating the houses. From the back door, she stepped directly into a thorny wilderness. In the weak sunshine, she recognized the tiny cream flowers filling the bushes as blackberry blossoms from the thickets that bordered her village back in Croatia. The weather in this country changed so frequently it left her unsure about the time of the year, but she knew it was not yet the season for picking blackberries. When that time came, she hoped to be back with her family in the forests of Velebit.MoreLess
