Title: What a great book
Product review: I think that War Torn must rate as one of the most under-appreciated books of 2003, so for anyone that does read it, they are in for a literary and historical treat. Set in both Berlin during the time of the destruction of the Berlin wall and in Mostar (Bosnia) during the civil war that divied the sity in two, War Torn is not only a well told story but it provides an interesting perspective on the civil war in Bosnia - which is something that I knew very little about. Unlike many other "war" books that take a birds eye/macro point of view, War Torn provides a very personal view of the effects of this kind of war on an individual and a family. The concurrent fall of the Berlin wall in which two sides of the city are rejoined serves as a good counterpoint to the separation of Mostar and the break up of Marta's marriage.I highly recommend it!
