• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fleeing the scene of the night before, Helena ricochets around her sleepy hometown seeking comfort in random encounterstaming feral children, losing her virginity in a blackout, eating cherries with a mysterious creature who goes by the name of Baba Lepa, falling in love with a singer of a heavy metal band. The small-town world is stifling and fake. As she marches through it like a toy soldier, Helena's mission finally crystallises: she must leave and never return, and she must do it before it's too late.

HELENA is a 65,000-word account of teenage angst and revolt, friendship and betrayal, love and loneliness, set against the backdrop of emerging civil war and tightly interwoven with elements of folklore and magic realism.

Autorenporträt

Olga writes darker, funnier YA novels. Her main characters are real young people, in search of an identity, higher purpose and personal freedom. They are often lost souls with a grudge against the norms and expectations imposed on them by society, willing to do anything it takes to break free of those confines. They believe in nothing, yet deep inside they harbour hope for finding a life that's worth living. Their rage is palpable. Their honesty breathtaking. Their paths extreme. And their sense of humour just doesn't give a shit.

Olga grew up in a small town in the former Yugoslavia, where she tried her very best to keep her nose in a book and out of trouble. This didn't work out all that well, so she packed up her bags and took off in search of everything and nothing in particular. Currently residing in the UK, but her search is far from over.

Olga reviews movies and TV shows on her website, olgabogdan.com (with a little help from Helena, a sixteen-year-old fictional character who simply refuses to leave).
