Opis

Refugee Tears is a non-fiction account based on the author's own experience in the war in Bosnia and refugee life in Serbia in the early 1990s. It is not a book about war, but rather about the refugees from Bosnia and other parts of ex-Yugoslavia affected by the war. It is a book about the daily struggle for a new life, that lasted over three years. It is about the human strength to survive. It is a touching story about life and death, love and hate, tears and laughter, and fear and hope. It is a long journey that starts on a refugee bus, and ends in a new country of freedom called Canada. This journey does not belong solely to Natasha Bartula, but is also a record of the lives of many people who shared similar destinies in one of many refugee centers in ex-Yugoslavia. It presents a global picture of the everyday struggle to survive with all its tragic and comic moments. It is about life in tough circumstances where the haunting past interferes with the sad present, while eyes stare up to the sky praying for a better future.
