For four centuries, Logavina Street was a quiet residential road in a cosmopolitan city, home to Muslims & Christians, Serbs & Croats. Then the war tore the street apart. In this extraordinary eyewitness account, Demick weaves together the stories of ten families from Logavina Street. For three & a half years, they were often without heat, water, food or electricity. They had to evade daily sniper fire & witnessed the deaths of friends, neighbours & family. Alongside the horrific realities of living in a warzone, Demick describes the roots of the conflict & explains how neighbours & friends were turned so swiftly into deadly enemies. With the same honest, intimate reporting style which won her so many plaudits for Nothing to Envy, Barbara Demick brilliantly illuminates one of the pivotal events of the twentieth century, & describes how, twenty years later, the residents of Logavina Street are coping with its consequences.
