A sad tale of the brutality of rape in war told through the experiences of an unnamed Bosnian woman who is entrapped as one of a group of women who are repeatedly raped by their Serbian guards. The story covers her capture, her life in the camp and importantly the months after being freed and how she copes with her life.
The writing is a sparse, cold and bleak. The story is ugly but it tells a real tale for what happens too many women who find themselves in a conflict or war zone. An important book of frightening reality.
