I read this for my Read Around the World challenge and it was perfect for Bosnia. There was so much historical and cultural context. I did struggle to stay invested however, because, despite being a relatively short book (barely over 300 pages) it covered a lot of ground. So much took place over the course of hundreds of years, yet I feel like it was just snippets of people and the things that happened to them. From a story telling aspect, I just wanted more.
