Its birth only reminds her of an even more grueling experience: being repeatedly raped by Serbian soldiers in the \"women's room\" of a prison camp. Through a series of flashbacks, S. relives the unspeakable crimes she has endured, and in telling her story--timely, strangely compelling, and ultimately about survival--depicts the darkest side of human nature during wartime.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67392446300205,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_7359d93b-ad18-4c0c-8137-090bb62acf1e.jpg?v=1787363280","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/s-a-novel-about-the-balkans","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
