The book pays particular attention to women's experiences in shelters, hospitals and morgues, and reflects on identity, memory and nationalism.
Work originally published as «Balkan Express» in 1992; this English edition, translated from the Croatian by Maja Šoljan, appeared in 1993.
Those interested in the recent history of the Balkans, testimonial literature and women's perspectives in war.
