Tania Romanov
What is your mother tongue? Sometimes the simplest questions take a book to answer.
Such is the case with Tania Romanov's story of exile, emigration and immigration and how native language can be a powerful touchstone for the sense of home. The unrelenting consequences of 100 years of Balkan wars force three generations of Croatian women - Katarina, Zora, and Tania - to flee their homelands multiple times.
Family including Russian emigrants are driven out from Yugoslavia as refugees to live in a refugee camp in Italy, speaking Russian and the Serbo-Croatian language.
Eventually, Tania, a successfully integrated American immigrant from Eastern Europe, journeys back to her fractured homeland with her mother to unravel the secrets of their shared past.
Mother Tongue is an exploration of lives lived in the chaos of the Balkans. It follows countries such as Yugoslavia and Serbia, that dissolved, formed, and reformed. Lands that were conquered and subjugated by Fascists and Nazis and nationalists. Lives lived in exile, in refugee camps, in new worlds.

Thank you for writing this beautiful, and captivating story. The historic facts are true and the life of your predecessors is very similar to the life of my parents. While I was listening to the Mother Tongue, I felt connected to your mother:Zora, Zorica.
I am very touched and grateful.

Instantly, Tania Romanov drew me into her inter-generational memoir a complicated history of her family that spans wars, Istria, occupations, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, Croatia, and America. It taught me so much! I laughed, and cried, and grew very attached to her mother, and grandmother as they continued to improvise lives as best as they could. I especially appreciated the way Romanov unravels the complexity of a multi-ethnic identity. This book kept me company through part of the pandemic and I was sad when it ended.
