"I saved this book to read while in Albania and it was a great decision. The book beautifully describes Gjirokaster which is still timeless and I could imagine I was retracing the places Kadare describes. The book is based in darker times for the Albanian people, and helped me to understand what has shaped this intriguing country.
It’s a book that draws you in, through the narrative from a child’s perspective into a world that is hard to imagine from the outside
Would recommend to anybody for its beautiful storytelling and evocative depiction of Albania. And a definite if you’re planning to visit Gjirokaster or any of the other fascinating areas of the country."
