More about the book
Sarajevo, 1990. The Balkan wars are raging. Maja, living in the basement of a Sarajevo museum, endures with equal annoyance Serb artillery and vegetarian meals that taste like fried sponge. Her father, the museum director, zealously guards the treasures upstairs while their aged co-lodger Juliet plots to trade them away. Maja's mother copes with yoga while her dour stepbrother Davor endures the endless crying and cravings of his pregnant wife. Need and crisis propel a lively cast through a series of humorous situations while the war carries them towards an uncertain future.
