The writing is taut, precise, and masterful.\" -The Philadelphia EnquirerSet in 1992, during the height of the Bosnian war, S. reveals one of the most horrifying aspects of any war: the rape and torture of civilian women by occupying forces. S. is the story of a Bosnian woman in exile who has just given birth to an unwanted child-one without a country, a name, a father, or a language. Its birth only reminds her of an even more grueling experience: being repeatedly raped by Serbian soldiers in the \"women's room\" of a prison camp. Through a series of flashbacks, S. relives the unspeakable crimes she has endured, and in telling her story-timely, strangely compelling, and ultimately about survival-depicts the darkest side of human nature during wartime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678742782192,"sku":"NEW0140298444","price":12.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/s-a-novel-about-the-balkans-by-drakulic-slavenka","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
