 1992 and as Yugoslavia disintegrates, the world is focusing on Bosnia and Croatia fighting for survival. In Kosovo the Serbs begin an insidious, systematic, ethnic cleansing of Albanians. Two Albanian doctors, working in Pristina University Hospital, grapple with an impossible dilemma. Should they sign their allegiance to Serbia, a nation they hate, or resign? They are good friends but make different decisions. Fadil Dhomi refuses to sign. After a long and arduous journey, he and his young family arrive in England, destitute. Will the people of Leeds welcome them? Donjeta Kahshoven chooses to stay and endures ever-greater hardships as Serbia’s grip tightens. Vjolic Kahshoven, just fifteen, faces an arranged marriage to a much older man. Will she go through with it or dare to defy her parents? The threat of war becomes a reality and bombs fall on Pristina.
