Bridge of Memory is a deeply moving story about the fate of children in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is structured as the testimony of eleven-year-old Mina Avdić, who, through the perspective of a child, describes the persecutions, fears, hunger, and struggle for survival of her family and of numerous civilians targeted by criminal attacks.The author subtly portrays a community in a small Podrinje settlement, caught unprepared by war, and then the members of a family and their neighbors fleeing the evil looming over them. Through the contrast between her idyllic childhood and the tragedy that follows, the author creates a powerful emotional arc.
