From the internationally bestselling author of Last Train to Istanbul.
Ever since Nimeta was a child, she'd done exactly what was expected of
her. She married a responsible man she met in college, had two children,
and established a busy journalism career--and there was no reason to
think anything would ever change. Then one day, while reporting on a
protest in Zagreb, Nimeta's life takes a dramatic turn. Not only does
she lay eyes on a handsome reporter who captures her heart, but a
little-known politician by the name of Slobodan Milosevic delivers a
speech fanning the flames of long-dormant Serbian nationalism. As her
love affair intensifies and political tensions build, Nimeta is forced
to reconsider everything she thought she knew about family, love,
loyalty, and humanity itself. Navigating both the new landscape of her
heart and that of her beloved war-torn city, Nimeta must draw upon her
deepest reserves of inner strength to keep her family safe. A moving
drama set against the backdrop of the crisis that rocked the Balkans in
the 1990s, Rose of Sarajevo reveals the tremendous lengths people will
go to in the name of love.
