Bosnian Chronicle by Ivo Andrić
3.0
Set in the early 1800's, in Travnik, Bosnia, this book uses narrative exposition and so it starts off with a lot of background concerning a revolving cast of characters, the only constant in all this being the French consul. This lessens nearing the halfway mark after which it hardly ever expands on Bosnian life anymore, but starts to focus almost solely on the consuls, primarily the French, and Napoleon's exploits in the background.
The entire story is told from the third person perspective. This meant that although virtually every page is filled with some kind of hardship, the style of narrating made it very hard to get any kind of emotional bond with any of the characters.
