This book excellently explores the war in Sarajevo. It is handled with great delicately and empathy. This story is one of dispare, hope, war, freedom, trials and overcoming them. Overall a beautiful book that reveals the harsh reality of trying to flee, not just a war zone, but your home to be reunited with your family while exploring the deep connections with the people around you, who are living through the same trauma.
