Thinner than a Hair, which won Cinnamon Press competition is out. An amazingly poignant and compelling narrative about a young Bosnian Muslim woman caught up in the 1990s Balkan crisis.

Told in the first person voice of a woman coming of age as her country falls into war and hatred, the deceptively simple narrative takes the reader on a journey across landscape, political boundaries, assumptions and emotions.

“words that manage to be both psychologically acute and lyrical” – Kirkus Reviews
