Travel in Croatia's hinterland: 'My family and Other Enemies' with Mary Novakovich

Laura Sanders Season 4 Episode 2

Mary Novakovich is a British travel journalist specialising in Croatia and the Balkans. Both her parents are originally from Croatia, which at the time of their births was part of Yugoslavia. 

Mary’s memoir, My Family and Other Enemies: Life and Travels in Croatia's Hinterland, was released in August this year and documents her many journeys to visit family in Lika, where her mother was born and grew up. Mary first visited as a little girl when the country was part of Yugoslavia and later took her mother back down memory lane there. 

Having witnessed how the country and her parents' birthplace has changed over the decades, her memoir gives a personal account of a moment in history, but it’s above all a travelogue which talks of the breathtaking scenery and authentic cultural experiences on offer.

Mary tells us all about the book and her other adventures as well as sharing tips for getting off the beaten path in Croatia.
