Description
A novel of suspense and psychological tension set in the world of international humanitarian aid by a founder of Doctors Without Borders.
The four men accompanying Maud, a young French idealist, on an aid convoy to Bosnia are very different from the clichéd image of the humanitarian volunteer. One by one, they reveal the secret wounds that have brought them to this conflict zone and, mile by mile, the true nature of their cargo . . .

Description
Zlata Filipovic began her diary in September 1991, just before her eleventh birthday, recording the typical concerns of a girl her age: piano lessons, birthday parties, and grades at school. But as war engulfs Sarajevo, the things she writes about change: the deaths of friends, food shortages, and days spent waiting out bombardments in a neighbor's cellar. Yet throughout, Zlata herself remains observant and courageous.
