Description
The history and culture of Kosovo are brought to life in this striking novel. Weaving together Albanian folktale, stories of Kosovan experience during the war in 1999, and the lives of modern-day Kosovan women, Naomi Hamill creates a unique narrative that explores the impact of conflict and the emergence of new life from darkness. The dark undercurrents of Albanian blood feuds provide a powerful backdrop for this story, which is characterised by vivid imagery and daring form. This is a novel about the complexities of human experience, where past and present intersect in unexpected ways. Naomi Hamill's debut novel offers a fresh perspective on one of Europe's newest countries, inviting readers to explore its rich history and culture through the lives of its people.
