Sarajevo, 1992. My mother’s uncle, Dobrivoje Beljkašić, or Dobri for short, was 68 when the siege of his hometown began. He was a landscape painter renowned for painting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Ottoman bridges. His magnificent studio was above the National Library in the old City Hall in Sarajevo.

Priscilla Morris, author of Women’s Prize Shortlisted Black Butterflies, on the real-life inspiration behind her debut novel. I was 19 when my mother’s home country of Yugoslavia started to implode in the early 1990s. Although she left when she was 19, a few years later marrying my English father and settling down in London, we visited my grandparents in Sarajevo every summer when I was little. I loved Sarajevo. I loved Bosnia. I loved Yugoslavia.
