CROATIAN PRINCESS - A COLLECTION OF MUSINGS
“I should start this book by stating that while I am Croatian, I am by no means a princess in the conventional sense of the word. But that was the tag pinned on me and all foreigners when I moved overseas and planted myself on the island of Korcula.”
CROATIAN PRINCESS is a compilation of articles which appeared in Australia’s Croatian Herald back in 2007. Over the course of the year, Frances served as a special features writer for the newspaper and happily shared with readers her musings on all things to do with Croatia.
This collection of articles focuses on her experiences as an Australian-born Croatian girl, living life as an Inbetweener. For years she felt the familiar tug between two beautiful countries and lived a life of limbo, navigating to and fro, never knowing quite how or where to find that perfect middle ground.
From “What Croats Living In Croatia Really Think Of Us” to “Why It’s So Hard To Pack Your Bags And Go Live In Croatia Forever” this warm and insightful collection will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the tugging of his or her heart in two directions.
