The Hired Man by Aminatta Forna

5.0

Everything about this book was wonderful. Along with The Tiger's Wife, this has to be one of the best novels out there about the 1990s Yugoslav Wars, though unlike the former, it's clearly set in an ex-Yugoslav country (Croatia). I loved Duro as a character and my heart kept breaking for him the more I'd learn about him and his past. If you want to read a novel about Croatia, make it this one.
