A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Girl in the Film is a passionate novel of love, war and betrayal. Set during the early nineties siege of Sarajevo and in the anti-climax of peace, this is a gripping account of the doomed romance between Amir Begovic, a young Sarajevan trapped in his home town, and Molly Taylor, an idealistic and ambitious journalist covering the war. An extraordinarily intimate portrayal of life under siege, the Girl in the Film not only shows the compromises people have to make to live through war, but also what happens when they are left to survive the peace, once the world's attention has moved on. The story of Sarajevo, and of Amir, is told through the eyes of Molly, as she slowly uncovers the bitter truth of the man, and the city, she thought she knew and loved. Part of the profits of this book will go to Education Builds Bosnia, a Sarajevo-based charity working with war orphans.

Revue de presse :

The Girl in the Film captures the feel, the texture, the chaos of the war, the back-of-the-throat burn of it and its irresistible pull. Nothing evokes what it is to be young, hopeful, idealistic and at war as effectively as this. --The BBC's Allan Little, author of The Death of Yugoslavia

A great novel about an awful time and its aftermath. The emotions Charlotte Eagar describes are something that only someone who has known these feelings could show with such uncanny, searing accuracy. That is what gives The Girl in the Film its power and will set it apart. --The Economist's Tim Judah, author Kosovo: War and Revenge
