Nimeta married a responsible man she met in college, had two children, and established a busy journalism career - and there was no reason to think anything would ever change. Then one day, while reporting on a protest in Zagreb, Nimeta’s life takes a dramatic turn. Not only does she lay eyes on a handsome reporter who captures her heart, but a little-known politician by the name of Slobodan Milosevic delivers a speech fanning the flames of long-dormant Serbian nationalism.

Not what I was expecting, in a bad sense.

Provides perspective on the Yugoslavia wars
Revisado: 04-05-22
I thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson embedded within the novel. I did not like the value set of the main character though. She was incredibly selfish, wrapped up in her career and not at all considerate of her family. Her fierce independence was way over the top and often placed her and those she loved at risk. Even when she promised not to leave or go out again, she would (always justified in her mind). The brutality sadly captures the realities of hate-fueled genocide and war. It's hard to imagine how you recover from the trauma or the toll passed on to generations of Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs. I can't help but to consider what Ukranians are living through right now and how it will also affect generations to come.
