Recensione:
“[A] powerful, finely crafted novel.”—Publishers Weekly “Paterson exposes the complexities of a war halfway around the globe and how its scars reach across an ocean. Young readers who did not know where Kosovo was before will not forget it after reading the Lleshis's remarkable story.”—Shelf Awareness
