This book....
It is beautifully heartbreaking!
It is such a real and honest story about war and life and family and survival!
It's a story about figuring out who you are, what home is and where it is and what that all means.
It's also such a honest show of how horrible and completely destructive war can be. How families are being ripped apparent and people get left behind or saved or killed or simple lost and nobody knows what happens to them.
I loved the writing, so simple but to the point and at the same time ver thought provoking, at least for me.
I loved Ana and how the story -her story- was told, how the war time was describe, the horrors of war, how she survived both the war in 1991 in Yugoslavia, but just barley, and 10 years later survived and in a wa compared that to the war started with 9/11 when she was in New York during that event as well.
And I loved -even if that might be considered a spoiler by some but I honestly don't think it's a spoiler but rather a selling point for the book!- that Ana had trouble letting her war time torn childhood go. That even in her 20 over a decade later she had trouble understanding why it all happens and figuring out her life around those events. That just gave the entire story such a real and honest felling, in my option!
This book was beautiful, and horrible honest in its portray of war horrors especially for children that are in many ways old enough to understand what is happening and at the same time to young to really understand why it is happening.
This is a powerful, beautiful, important and brutal book. You should all read it!
