Namučila me je, ne smatram da mogu da je ocenim bez ponovnog čitanja dosta kasnije

Beautifully written portrait of a place and its people(s) that made me want to read more about the Balkans and Bosnia in particular.

Took me more than a year to read (it was buried in a moving box for nine months). I fear I lost a bit of the continuity in some personal stories spanning the different eras in the lifetimes of some protagonists.

Serbia. I don't know if it was the translation, but I found it quite dense. Some really nasty scenes, but as time went on things became more civilised. A good concept for a book, and it made the town come to life, but maybe too dry for me
