Girl at War

When the book opens we're introduced to ten-year old Ana Juric playing in the streets of Zagreb. But when civil war breaks out the realities of her life change. But we're still seeing it through the eyes of a young girl. Fairytales and football shattered in a gut-punch of a moment. Stories continue to have an influence on Ana and we see her struggle to define hers. Quietly compelling and beautifully done.
