Award-winning author Amra PajaliÄ showcases her gritty, poignant and sometimes bruising voice in this eclectic short story book of previously published and prize-winning stories. Featuring powerful and moving stories of family dissolution, deprivation of war, tenderness of family and the heart-rending experiences of mental illness. Thriller stories with a twist of vindictiveness and retribution, and love stories that make the heart sing, this collection will delight and entertain.

Fragments-Seka and her brother forage for books in a bombed-out school in Srebrenica during the Balkan war.

Friends Forever-Two lifelong friends share a room at a nursing home, as well as a secret or two.
