With Their Backs to the World: Portraits from Serbia by Åsne Seierstad

emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.25

Seierstad’s research on Serbia and its society, after the wars and the fall of Milosevic, is an extraordinary account of individual journeys through the tumultuous times of the 90s in post-Yugoslavia. Every account feels authentic and Seierstad’s writing is deeply engaging, acknowledging her own bias as much as her interviewees.
