Erased

'This was a shocking, thought-provoking read that got me thinking about displaced people - of the emotional impact and loss when communities are forcibly divided by imposed borders. This book delves deeper into this largely secret issue. Of note in 1992, 25671 people were ‘erased’ in the Republic of Slovenia and not all of these have been resolved yet. A very interesting read which I’d certainly recommend.' - Kerrie, Loved Reading This

"I picked up a book set in Slovenia. But I read much more than this - This is a story about humanity, resilience and the yearning to call somewhere home." - The Book Trail

'Utterly haunting and immersive (a story of one woman’s battle with the state)’- @canreadwillread

'What a special, yet frightening story: incredible. It made me think about Prophet Song by Paul Lynch.' - Julie Couture, Bookseller, Boekhandel van Rossum

'It’s stories like these that train our empathy and help us not see the world so black and white. We never know the battle someone else is fighting.' - Miss Known

'Poetic, tragic and moving, this is an author that conquered my heart with this hard tale of an unbelievable European piece of history that still affects so many Slovenian citizens.' - @aratecla_the_bookrat

'Mazzini has written a funny, frightening picture of a skewed, manipulative state, with delicious descriptions of characters ranging from the naive to the well-intentioned, to the corrupt.' - Morelle Smith

'Shocking, disturbing and harrowing, Erased is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that really makes you think about your own electronic identity and how easily it could be erased. I would highly recommend this outstanding book to readers of all genres.' - Michelle Ryles, The Book Magnet
