Fly Away, Pigeon tells the heart-wrenching story of a family torn between emigration & immigration & paints evocative portraits of the former Yugoslavia & modern-day Switzerl&. In this novel, Melinda Nadj Abonji interweaves two narrative strands, recounting the history of three generations of the Kocsis family & chronicling their hard-won assimilation. Originally part of Serbia`s Hungarian-speaking minority in the Vojvodina, the Kocsis family immigrates to Switzerland in the early 1970s when their hometown is still part of the Yugoslav republic. Parents Miklos & Rosza land in Switzerland knowing just one word-”work.” & after three years of backbreaking, menial work, both legal & illegal, they are finally able to obtain visas for their two young daughters, Ildiko & Nomi, who safely join them. However, for all their efforts to adapt & assimilate they still must endure insults & prejudice from members of their new community & helplessly stand by as the friends & family members they left behind suffer the maelstrom of the Balkan War.

It is a work that is intensely local, while grounded in the histories & cultures of two distinctive communities. Its emotions & struggles are as universal as the human dilemmas it portrays. ...
