I was fortunate to visit Yugoslavia in 1988 on a tour of Croatia. The tour guide started her introduction to the tour by stating that Yugoslavia was a country of x ethnicities, y religions, z languages, etc. I forget the exact numbers, somewhere more than 5. The implication was that Yugoslavia was less a melting pot, as portrayed by many, than a simmering pot. That pot soon boiled over, as described in this novel.Reader alert! You will need to understand a little Balkan and Ottoman history to appreciate this novel, but that can be obtained, for example, by scanning a few Wikipedia articles.The protagonist in this novel is a woman journalist in Sarajevo. Making her a journalist was a stroke of inspiration, as it allows the integration of history and fiction without seriously disrupting the story. That type of integration often fails. Ultimately, this is a story of survival and complex relationships, of love and redemption. It reveals the tragedy of Sarajevo without wallowing in the gore.The history is fairly detailed, but it does have a viewpoint. The Serbs are the villains here, as expected from a Turkish author with sympathy for Bosnia. However, she is an excellent storyteller, with a knack for portraying sympathetic characters. This is the second of her novels I have read, and I will look for others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great historical fiction about the war in Bosnia *by R***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2016* I was pushed off from reading this book because I read many negative reviews about it lacking substance. However, I'm so glad I gave it a shot because I liked it so much that I read it in a day, I just couldn't put it down.This book tells the story of the war in Croatia and Bosnia from the standpoint of a muslim news reporter in Bosnia. There's a lot of history in this book, but it is explained in such a way that you can understand the development of this very complicated war, and since its more like reporters talking about it, you get to feel like you are in the newsroom.Many of the negative reviews that I had read explained that the characters were flat and that they felt that something was missing in this book, but to be honest I actually enjoyed the way Kulin portrayed the characters because it enables the reader to put himself in the shoes of the characters. Do you really need someone to explain to you how would you feel in the middle of war when there is no food and people are massacred, or would you rather stop and think how would you feel in this situation? For me, this style of writing made the story more real - it enabled me to transport myself to this horrific period. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ History and personal are well woven together *by U***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 10, 2016* 4.5A powerful read. The novel is set in Sarajevo in the 80's and 90's as Yugoslavia breaks apart. Nimeta is a Bosniak (Muslim) reporter and the novel follows the impact of the break-up on her family and friends, her work, and country and home of Sarajevo.With a main character as a reporter, Kulin is able to weave large chunks of history into the narrative - they still feel a bit slow, but she follows through with the personal, intimate view of the impact of those larger events. The novel has some grim moments, particularly as it gets into the massacres perpetrated by the Serbs. But the novel also shows the proud history of the Bosniaks and how they lived in peace for years with Serbs and Croats in the city of Sarajevo.While the novel's ending is ambiguous, I think it suits the themes and is a nod to what many who lived during that time dealt with. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5243121-rose-of-sarajevo](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/5243121-rose-of-sarajevo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
