A true story.
A broken marriage.
A frozen embryo.
And one impossible decision:
SHOULD IT not LIVE?
__________________________________
Letters to an Embryo is an autobiographical novel that explores the deeply personal journey of Jasna Kaludjerovic as she grapples with the aftermath of a painful divorce. Left with a frozen embryo from the final IVF attempt, she feels torn between the responsibility of giving it a chance to live and the emotional weight of her past.
Over the course of many letters, Jasna writes to the embryo, reflecting on motherhood, identity, and the complexities of letting go.
The novel touches on themes of loss, hope, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit, offering readers an intimate exploration of one woman’s emotional and psychological struggle. With honesty and vulnerability, Kaludjerovic invites readers to walk with her through a personal crisis that many can relate to, yet few are willing to speak about.
Does it have the right to life?
How will it fit with her new role now?
What does it take to make a decision?
