Description
Set against the long shadow of the Bosnian War, this moving work follows the lives of people trying to hold on to love, dignity, and hope amid siege and uncertainty. Through intimate, human-scale moments, it explores how communities endure—finding small acts of courage, solidarity, and remembrance when ordinary life has been shattered. The story is steeped in themes of resilience, moral choice, and the power of memory, using the symbolism of flowers to suggest renewal even in the bleakest circumstances. With a compassionate, accessible narrative voice, John McCutcheon brings history close to the heart, offering readers both emotional immediacy and a deeper understanding of what survival can mean.
