Great storytelling and very important topic.
I did not know much about the wars in Europe in the 90s. This gives a great understanding of how it must have felt being a child in Croatia during that time.
The tragedy of war is well displayed, including loss and killing. But also the everyday moments, and the trauma following it. I am so grateful to have read it!
At times, I wished it would be more story than just the war, but I only later realized how powerful everything written was. How my desire for happiness and extravagance is a luxury war does not provide. I loved it. And want to read more of Sara Nović now.
