Marta goes to live in Croatia while her peacekeeper husband flies in and out of Sarajevo, during the Bosnian war. Marta finds out first-hand the meaning of differing realities under the circumstances of war.
The short story collection Poached Egg On Toast showcases Itani’s ability to shine a clear light on what it feels like to be an outsider, displaced and disconnected from the world at hand, and how a single, small moment can cause a seismic shift in our emotional landscape. Wickedly funny and unbearably sad, Itani’s stories leave us with a renewed sense of humanity.
