Summary: "S. is a teacher in a Bosnian village; twenty-nine, gentle, clever and pretty, with a love affair and an apartment of her own. Until one spring day a young Serb soldier walks uninvited into her kitchen and tells her to pack a bag, and her life is interrupted. As the sky turns black with smoke behind her, S. enters a new world, where peace is a fairytale and there are no homes but only camps: transit camp, reception camp, labour camp, death camp. Slavenka Drakulic documents S.'s struggle to cling to her humanity, and to seek and eventually find a reason for hope amidst the tragedy of the Balkan conflict."--Cover
