In 1998, Serbian therapist Mira Braverman finds herself in her North London flat, a space her husband humorously calls the Delivery Room. As she listens to her troubled patients, Mira realizes her own life is intertwined with their struggles: her husband Peter faces illness, NATO's threats against Serbia intensify, and hidden truths from her past threaten to surface. The contrasts between war and peace, life and death, highlight the preciousness of everyday moments often taken for granted. Engaging with Mira's world reveals a refreshing appreciation for life's small joys. The author’s talent for character creation shines as she weaves together the narratives of patients and therapist, creating a sense of trespass and revelation. Critics praise the novel as a stunning exploration of themes like birth, death, war, and loss. It is described as grippingly readable, with a rich texture and detail that allow for a deeper understanding of character and plot. The work stands out for its ambition and commitment, making it one of the most striking novels of the year, both intellectually stimulating and highly enjoyable.
