Acerca de esta escucha
Eleven-year-old Zana loves life in her small village in Kosovo. She also loves her best friend, Lena, even though her uncle doesn’t want the two of them playing together, since Lena is a Serb and Zana and her family are Albanians. Soon, soldiers are pulling Albanians off of buses and looting and bombing Albanian homes. Amidst a rising tide of violence, Zana must find a way to break the cycle of hate. Closely based on Alice Mead’s own experiences, Girl of Kosovo is a stark look at the evil people can do - and at the enduring power of love. Narrator Julie Dretzin voices all the determination of a girl who listeners will never forget.

With courage, grace, and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of World War II and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women's war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France—a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

This is how wars are fought now by children, hopped up on drugs, and wielding AK-47s. In the more than fifty violent conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But it is rare to find a first-person account from someone who endured this hell and survived.

Midwife Patience Murphy has a gift: a talent for escorting mothers through the challenges of bringing children into the world. Working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression, Patience takes the jobs that no one else wants, helping those most in need - and least likely to pay. She knows a successful midwifery practice must be built on a foundation of openness and trust - but the secrets Patience is keeping are far too intimate and fragile for her to ever let anyone in.

Khorramshahr, Iran, May 1982 - It was the bloodiest battle of one of the most brutal wars of the twentieth century, and Najah, a 29-year-old wounded Iraqi conscript, was face to face with a 13-year-old Iranian child soldier who was ordered to kill him. Instead, the boy committed an astonishing act of mercy. It was an act that decades later would save his own life.

Really cute!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. I learned a lot about the Kosovo war from the point of view of a kosovar girl which was exactly what I wanted. The story was catching and moving and hit on points you would never see in the news.
What other book might you compare Girl of Kosovo to and why?
Anne Frank.
What does Julie Dretzin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator captured the story very well and kept my interest. I listen while I do data entry at work and I didn't doze off into la la land once.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was very enlightening. I didn't know much about the war or the country of Kosovo and I feel I have a better understanding. Some parts were very sad but it had a positive outcome.
Any additional comments?
My boyfriend is part Kosovar and was the same age as the little girl during the war. This book really made a difference in understanding him better and I am grateful that I could learn more about something that is hard for him to talk about. I checked a lot of the story with him and it seems to be a good account of how it really was over there. I recommend to anyone who has a thirst to learn about other cultures. It's a great historical fiction in general.
