"Ismail Kadare has slowly became one of my favorite authors of the last couple of years. He has never really struck me with a book that left me shaking, but as i read more and more of his books i find that they are all very different, all very well written, all have entertaining stories that make me wander the streets musing to myself and so he's became a dark horse favorite and i look forward to reading many many more"
"I absolutely loved this book-- a well-written bittersweet love story that is set in Albania. The novel really explores the lifestyle of those who lived on the high plateaus of the country in the early 20th century and their code of ethics, (namely the never-ending blood feuds that allow a death for a death, with family constantly having to sacrifice one of their own)."
