I happened upon this book because I was trying to read novels set in the areas I would be traveling to in September. I did not expect to love this story the way I do. Obreht masterfully interweaves her protagonist’s story with her grandfather’s. There’s something about it that is so fragile and horrible but overall just so human. She makes you mourn for places you will never see — places that can no longer be found on a map.
