Liked It Rated 5 stars “An amourous book cover betrayed the essence of this book. Profound, tragic, heart wrenching, a holistic view of the people of Serbia, punished and sanctioned by the world by atrocities committed by its leaders.

  Find the "utterly pathetic to Norwegian sensibilities" effort of Seierstad's, described in the book, on the above location.
  It's "Laganese", a romantic balad - "as kitsch a pop song as I've ever been subjected to", to which she contributes some singing and telling stories.

  “An amourous book cover betrayed the essence of this book. Profound, tragic, heart wrenching, a holistic view of the people of Serbia, punished and sanctioned by the world by atrocities committed by its leaders. Asne reported the human experiences "as-it-is" and impartially, like a true reporter would. One would come out of this with a better understanding of the Serbians.”
