The story follows the lead character Ana on her journey through the war. I didn't hate it but out of 12 bookclub members, 2 read it and 2 had it but didn't crack it open and the rest either didn't bother or were part way through.

Written by a deaf woman from a child's perspective. A visit to Croatia a few years ago is what inspired me to read this book. It was tough to imagine what this young girl endured, but I now appreciate more the hardships of war. So very sad. World Peace is essential, but how are we going to achieve it?
