The real horror of the Bosnia War,
By
This review is from: As If I Am Not There (Paperback)
I found this book in the public library today, and almost finished it already. It's one of those books you can read in one session.
It's about a young bosnian muslim woman, S.. She works in a school in a little bosnian village, when the Serbs come and deport her to a rape-camp, along with other women from her village. Somehow, she makes it to survive all this and she ends up in Zagreb/Croatia - in freedom. But there she finds out that she's pregnant - from one of those countless men who raped her in the camp. Drakulic succeeded to draw the atmosphere in such a camp, that you almost feel the fear of drunken soldiers coming to rape you. It's a shocking book, one that doesn't allow you to put it away anymore. You need strong nerves to read this book, but after you read it, you'll understand the suffering of the women during the Bosnia-war much better. It's really a book I'd recommend to everybody. |
