A Sarajevo story inspired by the author's family's experience of the siege.
It has a wonderfully crafted sense of place, effective storytelling, and some very beautiful passages. I was fully engaged and reading beyond my bedtime.
An accomplished novel. Perhaps too polished for me to love completely; briefly telling not showing the horrors, and keeping all its plot promises.
For this reader, there was no need to be so polite.
