Description

Scott Simon's debut novel, Pretty Birds, is a powerful and intense portrayal of life in war-torn Sarajevo in the early 1990s. Set against the backdrop of ethnic cleansing and violence, the story follows Irena Zaric, a young woman who finds herself caught up in the conflict. As Irena navigates this treacherous world, she must confront the harsh realities of war and its impact on her life and those around her. With the help of a former assistant principal, she learns to adapt and survive, but ultimately, her new vocation will lead to complex and cataclysmic consequences for herself and those she loves. A gripping and thought-provoking novel, Pretty Birds is a testament to Scott Simon's skill as a writer and his ability to tell a compelling story.
