The Balkan Express: Fragments from the Other Side of War by Slavenka Drakulić

3.0

A collection of essays. Imagine you were a baby boomer woman, but instead of being born in the West, you were born in Eastern Europe (in this case the former Yugoslavia, which was not a soviet state, but enormously influenced by the soviets.) Now imagine that you're in your mid-40s, when your life should be stable, established and becoming easier, when instead your country falls into civil war.

That's what this book is about.
