Reseña del libro "Black Butterflies (en Inglés)"

SHORT-LISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION. A timeless story of strife and hope set during the conflict in the Balkans in the early '90s--a searing debut novel about a woman who faces the war on her doorstep with courage, fierceness, and an unshakable belief in the power of art. Sarajevo, spring 1992. Each night, nationalist gangs erect makeshift barricades, splitting the city into ethnic enclaves. Each morning, the people who live there--whether Muslim, Croat, or Serb--push the barriers aside. When violence erupts and becomes, finally, unavoidable, Zora, an artist and teacher, sends her husband and elderly mother to safety in England. She stays behind, reluctant to believe that hostilities will last more than a few weeks. As the city falls under siege, everything she loves about her home is laid to waste, black ashes floating over the rooftops. Yet Zora and her friends find ways to rebuild themselves, over and over. Told with breathtaking immediacy, this is a story of disintegration, resilience, and hope--a stirring debut from a commanding new voice.
