Local Description

STAFF REVIEW by Amelia

Two men who fall in love amidst the Kosovo war. Both men struggle in a society and time that is homophobic and torn apart by the war. Statovci does an incredible job in making you feel sorry for the protagonist but also despise him. Bolla is heartbreaking, dark and at times disturbing. If you love angsty reading then this book is definitely for you.

Description

The internationally award-winning novel of passion, war, migration -- and a destructive forbidden attraction between two men. 'Devastating in the most beautiful ways.' - Torrey Peters'Superb . . . Statovci is a major talent.' - New York Times Book Review It is April 1995. Kosovo is a country on the cusp of a dreadful war. Arsim in twenty-two, newly married, cautious - an Albanian trying to keep his head down and finish his studies in an atmosphere of creeping threat. Until he encounters Milos, a Serb, and begins a life in secret. 'A pitch perfect excavation of the vandalism of war, the wounds of love and the limits of the human soul.' - Eimear McBride
