Marija Peričić visits grief in Foreign Country

Marija Peričić, critically acclaimed author of Exquisite Corpse and The Lost Pages, published her third novel earlier this year, titled Foreign Country.

Foreign Country tells the story of Eva, who, after a decade of estrangement and personal tragedy, returns home to discover her sister Elizabeta has passed away. As Eva sifts through her sister’s belongings, she uncovers conflicting accounts of their shared past, forcing her to confront her own memories and question what she truly knows about her sister and herself.

Marija Peričić joined Bec Bowman on Artbeat to discuss the creative process, and exploring the unique complexities of sibling relationships, memory, and grief.
