Zagreb, 1991. Ana Jurić is a carefree 10-year-old, living with her family in a small apartment in Croatia's capital. But that year, civil war breaks out across Yugoslavia, splintering Ana's idyllic childhood. Daily life is altered by food rations and air raid drills, and soccer matches are replaced by sniper fire. Neighbors grow suspicious of one another, and Ana's sense of safety starts to fray. When the war arrives at her doorstep, Ana must find her way in a dangerous world.

Excellent book about the Balkans
Reviewed: 05-04-16
The narrator makes all the men in the book sound Eastern European. Otherwise, it was an amazing heartfelt tale of the Croatian crisis, less known the Bosnian massacre.
