Description: "When Halid, a Muslim "war hero," returns home to his small village following the Bosnian War, he finds that his own battles have just begun. Although his village was spared from heavy combat, it was nonetheless completely and utterly destroyed. Rotting fruit still clings to the trees yet food is scarce; Christians and Muslims, previously warm friends, are now blood enemies.". "Over the course of three days, Halid aimlessly wanders in search of those who remain but is acutely aware of those who are missing. Disoriented and at times confused, he experiences his town as a shifting landscape of new alliances and old grievances. There is no room for error in this time of upheaval, and Halid's missteps threaten to pull him into a downward spiral of insanity and, ultimately, tragedy."--BOOK JACKET.
