“. . . Slavenka Drakulic has given the world a gift, digging into the twisted reality of war . . . a novel of cataclysmic power.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Drakulic’s novel will leave you with survivor guilt even while never having undergone the horrific events described. . . . Descriptions of camp life rival those of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in graphic and compelling detail.” —The Nation
