Summary
Adem is sick of living with oppression--the terrorizing,
tear gassing, beatings and killings. How he would love to fight back. But the power belongs to the Serbs, and the Albanians have adopted a policy of non-violent resistance. How can Adem hope to grow up in this war-torn country? In this graphic, intense novel, Adem bears the same figurative cross borne by all children of the Balkan republics, regardless of ethnic origin. |
