pickSarajevo, 1991-1995. A city torn by war and ‘ethnic cleansing‘ targeting Muslim descents was taking place. In this epistolary novel, 10-year old Nadja writes to her cousin in the US and both exchange news. Nadja writes about how she and her family lived in fear of being bombed and killed by snipers. And letters from her cousin give them hope and encouragement in the face of war.
