Held from October 7 to 11, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the 78th Frankfurter Buchmesse brought together members of the international book and media industry for a five-day celebration of literature, publishing, and creative exchange. As one of the major meeting points for the global publishing community, the fair created a space where publishers, authors, literary agents, booksellers, rights professionals, distributors, and other industry representatives could meet, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Beyond showcasing books from different parts of the world, the event encouraged meaningful conversations about the future of publishing, the changing interests of readers, and the many ways stories can reach audiences across languages and cultures.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this international literary gathering is “Child’s Tale: I Am Not a Mistake—Knitting Memories” by Narandja Eagleson. The book joins a diverse collection of literary works featured at the fair, representing the creativity, unique perspectives, and storytelling approaches that make the publishing world vibrant and diverse. Its presence at the event offers an opportunity to introduce the author’s work to a broader international audience while contributing to the exchange of stories and ideas among readers, authors, and publishing professionals. Through the representation of titles across various genres and themes, Citi of Books continues to support opportunities for authors to expand their reach and connect with new audiences in the global literary community.
“Child’s Tale: I Am Not a Mistake—Knitting Memories” by Narandja Eagleson is a deeply moving lyrical psychological memoir that chronicles the author’s childhood in post-war Yugoslavia and her lifelong journey toward healing, self-discovery, and transformation. Rather than presenting a conventional autobiography, Eagleson invites readers into the landscape of embodied memory, where childhood experiences are stored not only in the mind but also within the body.
Through vivid storytelling, reflective prose, and psychological insight, she explores how trauma shapes identity while demonstrating that healing is possible through compassion, self-recognition, and reconnecting with one’s past. The memoir weaves together personal recollections, emotional resilience, and spiritual growth, creating an intimate narrative that speaks to anyone seeking hope after adversity.
Drawing upon principles of depth psychology, embodied imagination, and heart-rhythm meditation, Child’s Tale: I Am Not a Mistake—Knitting Memories presents memory as a living, relational experience rather than a collection of isolated events. Eagleson reflects on the people, animals, landscapes, and treasured objects that became part of her healing journey, showing how fragmented memories can gradually be transformed into sources of wisdom and renewal. Through her honest storytelling, readers are encouraged to confront their own emotional histories with courage, discovering that even painful experiences can become pathways toward greater understanding, love, and personal freedom.
By demonstrating that painful experiences need not define a person’s future, Child’s Tale: I Am Not a Mistake—Knitting Memories offers a hopeful reminder that every life story holds the possibility of renewal, reconciliation, and profound transformation through love.
