I never heard of this book but thank you for bringing it to my attention. This is an event in history not many people speak about.

I remember reading this book in high school and rereading it in college. I really, really liked it. Zlata also wrote the foreward to a book called The Freedom Writers: How a teacher and 150 students Used Writing to Change Themselves and The World Around Them by The Freedom Writers & Erin Gruwell. It too is an amazing read – a teacher working in a high risk high school, used it is one of the books for her class. Either Zlata came to the US or the students went and met her in Croatia I can’t remember.

I actually bought this book recently at a library booksale. I’m glad to see it’s worth reading!

Man, this conversation is making me feel like the baby of the group. We read this in school when it came out and it is, I kid you not, why my concentration in college was the Balkans. Ok, there were other reasons, too, but I remember this as a definite turning point. It’s incredibly sad but it’s also war. I’m glad that it’s coming back around. Really, everyone should read it.

Oh wow! I hadn’t heard of this book before. I think I will be logging on to Amazon shortly to make a purchase. This looks like one that will stick with you for a long time.

This sounds brutal and amazing and touching and so real. I’m so glad to hear she survived … but it just rips my heart apart to think of this going on during my lifetime. I always think of stuff like this happening in the past.
