From the Back Cover:
"In Ana Imagined, her extraordinary debut novel, Perrin Ireland explores the creative process, illuminating with powerful revelations those points where fiction and reality meet. Each vivid story neatly housed within another is testament to an abiding strength and faith-- and each serves as reminder that every story has a life all its own. A wonderful novel-- moving and memorable." Jill McCorkle
"Ana Imagined is a powerful, and powerfully unsettling, novel, certainly one of the most original works of art to have been inspired by the horror of Bosnia, and its author, Perrin Ireland, takes more risks than an undercover agent slipping behind enemy lines. I can't help but applaud her steely courage and her steady nerve, both put to such high service: this remarkable book." Bob Shacochis
"Perrin Ireland is a fearless writer and Ana Imagined is a novel of unusual imagination and depth. As the narrative shuttles between Bosnia and Boston, she introduces us to two splendid heroines and forces us to consider once again the perilous intersection of public and private history. A remarkable debut." Margot Livesey
"I am full of admiration for Ana Imagined, a page turner with many daring scenes, which draws two moving portraits of women who have undergone traumas but continue with their lives. This action-filled novel provides such a wonderful balance between the two stories, and all the skillful parallels work. I have nothing but compliments." Sheila Kohler
