review 1: An honest and redemptive memoir -- covering the author's life in Bosnia in 1992 (he was 12), how the family got out, his education and career in Queens, and then returning to Bosnia with his older brother and dad a few years ago. His List includes confronting neighbors and those who did the family wrong -- and while his 12-year-old self wants to be angry and retaliatory, his adult self sees the differences their life choices have made. Unforgettable. Our book group at the library loved it.
review 2: Personal account of the inhumanity experienced by a Bosniak family at the beginning of the 1992 Balkan War as told by the youngest son (now 30 years old) Kenan. His desire for retribution years later when he and his older brother and father finally return to t... moreheir home melts into redemption and understanding as he realizes his life turned out well after the family barely escaped the war. Good book that provides some clarity to the murky Balkan Crisis. less
