Description: This is the second work by the now internationally renowned Bosnian journalist Zlatko Dizdarevic dedicated to the atrocities that have been occurring in war-torn Sarajevo since April 1992.

In this new work, the author turns his focus on his sisters and brothers, the women, men, and children of Sarajevo who have, for various reasons, remained in their beloved yet troubled city and watched it fall around them as they attempt to live their lives as normally as possible. The book is composed of vignettes, accounts of the everyday lives of real people living in an unreal situation. Told in their own words, they reveal the courage of a people and the brotherhood that this war has taught them.
Notes: Never published in its original Serbo-Croatian (roman) language.
