description: Durham, an artist and illustrator, first visited Montenegro on doctor's orders following an illness and depression -- and this introduction to the Balkans sparked a passion that lasted a lifetime. Though the way of life she chronicles has, sadly, mostly disappeared, her comments on how to resolve the region's vexed and often violent politics still ring true.
