Synopsis

A unique voice from Europe’s newest country, rooted in its oldest literary traditions – now in English for the first time.

Glimmer of Hope, Glimmer of Flame is a documentary novel of the true tragedy of two mothers after the Kosovo War of 1999: one lost her whole family and continues to lay the table for them more than twenty years later; the other burned herself to death when the remains of two of her sons were returned. A mosaic of the evil fortunes of war and the painful consequences of peace, the novel echoes the eternal truths of ancient Greek tragedy as it tells the sorrows of modern war. It explores the meaning of motherhood, of family, and of home.
