Three Summers: A Memoir of Sisterhood, Summer Crushes, and Growing Up on the Eve of War
Three Summers: A Memoir of Sisterhood, Summer Crushes, and Growing Up on the Eve of War | Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, Laura L Sullivan
2 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
An epic middle-grade memoir about sisterhood and coming-of-age in the three years leading up to the Bosnian Genocide. Three Summers is the story of five young cousins who grow closer than sisters as ethnic tensions escalate over three summers in 1980s Bosnia. They navigate the joys and pitfalls of adolescence on their family's little island in the middle of the Una River. When finally confronted with the harsh truths of the adult world around them, their bond gives them the resilience to discover and hold fast to their true selves. Written with incredible warmth and tenderness, Amra Sabic-El-Rayess takes readers on a journey that will break their hearts and put them back together again.

Loved my #bookspin book for March!!!! It's a middle grade memoir of a girl growing up in Bosnia just before the war. She is just about the same age as me, so even though it was in a different country, it felt nostalgic. It was a perfect blend of personal, family, and national issues. I love how her culture was portrayed and was saddened by many turn of events. Now I need to read her YA account of the war years...
