Hotel Sarajevo, by Jack Kersh

I picked it up because it caught my eye on the shelf. I was looking for a completely different book in the K section, and this one said “Take me home!”

It lived up to its promise. Tragic, poetic, eloquent. Sad but beautiful. A real find.

On the back, it says “A haunting, masterful work,” and I would have to wholeheartedly agree. I’d read more by this author, but unfortunately some online searches haven’t uncovered much.
