Roza, in her twenties, the daughter of one of Tito's partisans, has only recently moved to London from Yugoslavia.One evening, Chris mistakes her for a prostitute and propositions her. Instead of being offended, she gets into his car. Over the next months Roza tells Chris stories of her past. She's a fast-talking, wilyScheherazade, saving her own life as she retells it-and Chris is rapt.
