Bolla
Bolla | By Pajtim Statovci | Translated by David Hackston
It is April, 1995. Kosovo is a country on the cusp of a dreadful war.
Arsim is twenty-two, newly married, cautious - an Albanian trying to keep his head down and finish his studies in an atmosphere of creeping threat.Until he encounters Milos, a Serb, and begins a life in secret.
Bolla is the story of what happens when passion and history collide - when a relationship, already forbidden and laced with danger, is ripped apart by war and migration, separated by nations and fate.
What happens when you are forced to live a life that is not yours, so far from your desires? Can the human remain?
