Semi-finalist for the BookLife Prize
 
When Nadija arrived in the United States after surviving the Bosnian War, she thought she had left her past behind. But soon after marrying a man much older than herself, she finds herself trapped in a new kind of battle. In Immigrated, Nadija shares her journey of navigating a new culture, a failing marriage, and the debilitating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Through it all, she clings to education as a lifeline, pushing herself to succeed despite the odds. With honesty and raw vulnerability, Nadija confronts the challenges of rebuilding a life after war and the strength it takes to heal from trauma.

Immigrated is a poignant and inspiring story of survival, resilience, and hope.

Editorial Reviews

Review


This story is one of triumph in the worst of circumstances and an example of human determination. [Mujagic] writes well and I was drawn to finish [the book] quite quickly. -- Doreen, BookSirens reviewer

A profoundly moving story of people who are brought up during a war and the unimaginable horrors they witness and how they need positive understanding people around them and professional help to heal and move on with life. - Kathleen, BookSirens reviewer

I learned about the trauma left within the survivors of war from [Mujagic's] own account rather than from a textbook. Immigrated is not a war memoir; nor a textbook. It does however recount some of the challenges faced by people who endured war and those faced by people willing [to] choose to become a resident in another land and/or culture. -Jean, Goodreads reviewer
I would certainly recommend reading Immigrated to anyone who wants a better understanding of how PTSD affects war survivors... -- Stephanie, Goodreads reviewer

Mujagic takes the reader on a journey, and the sights are not always pretty or comfortable; regardless, she shares her insights and thoughts elegantly. Overall, the writing is beautiful, poetic, and powerful. -- The BookLife Prize

Poignant, full of wit in tragedy
Fast, riveting read.There is a preciseness in language used that it was surprising this memoir was written by someone whose English wasn’t their first language.The author has a way of describing an entire moment, through tragedy and wit, in just a few sentences. It’s as if the entire book was written as though every other line is a dagger.What’s also beautiful in the storytelling style is jumping from present to past to further in the past, back to the present. We are with the author for what at times feels like a stream of consciousness, but really what we are getting is well placed thoughts.A journey worth escaping into, but a reminder how well off so many of us have it.I’m going to read more of her books for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars An immediately absorbing account from the perspective of a Bosnian immigrant
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book immediately grabbed my attention and pulled me into the author’s world. Nadija was a newly married young bride in the US, after living through the hellish Bosnian war. Marrying an American, and then the exciting aftermath of moving to the US. An alluring prospect, but foreign to her all the same. The ups and downs she had to endure during this time. Lastly, how her perseverance, creativity and sense of humor helped her to succeed in this world so new to her. Now she calls it home. Engaging memoir with a positive message.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reflective and candid story of immigrating as a war survivor
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021
Another well-written, interesting book from this author (her first, which I read, was Ten Thousand Shells and Counting). The writing is similar to her first book in that it is clear and concise, but this one has a tone of more healing and introspection. She provides more broad themes and observations on both being an immigrant, healing, and being a war survivor. You cheer for her as she finds her way to make a new life in the USA and is able to discover herself, overcoming so many challenges. It's an honest and reflective telling of her experience. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more from the author. Full disclosure, I did receive an advance copy of this book from the publisher, although I did not get one for the first book "Ten Thousand Shell and Counting," which I purchased.

An excellent account of how one migrates from a war-torn country for love and better life only to realize that surviving a war was just the first of my trials toward assimilating in the new culture. Super helpful to hear in very real and honest terms all the peaks and valleys of making a new home here. Highly recommended reading!

I was captivated by Mujagic's first memoir, Ten Thousand Shells and Counting, and her sequel Immigrated was an excellent addition to the series. Immigrated is a candid tale about a young woman coming of age in a foreign land while dealing with war survivor PTSD resulting from the siege of Sarajevo. The details of her personal struggles, healing process, and ultimate resolution would be helpful to anyone dealing with their own trauma, and interesting to all.

Immigrated returns the reader to war torn Bosnia and tells the first had story of how the author left her family and homeland to begin a new life in America. A challenging journey physically, emotionally and financially, however it was wonderful to learn that the author survived these life changing experiences and is now thriving and writing happily in her new home.
