Μίρα, το λουλούδι του πολέμου

Rate this book
Ο μοναχικός αλλά ευαίσθητος Δημήτρης και η ψυχρή, εξαιτίας των όσων έζησε στον πόλεμο της Βοσνίας, Μίρα, μεταμορφώνονται μέσα από την αγάπη που αναπτύσσεται μεταξύ τους. Μετά από τα τόσα χρόνια μοναξιάς για τον Δημήτρη και πόνου για τη Μίρα, η αγάπη τους γίνεται βάλσαμο, γίνεται ίαση και για τους δύο.
Η Μίρα εμπιστεύεται στον Δημήτρη την ιστορία της κι αυτός κάνει ό,τι μπορεί για να απαλύνει τον πόνο της. Η λαχτάρα και οι φόβοι της για το κοριτσάκι της, που ζει με συγγενείς της στο Βελιγράδι, αποτελούν τη μοναδική σκιά στην ευτυχία τους.
Ο πόλεμος ξεσπά πάλι στην πατρίδα της και τα ίχνη της κόρης της χάνονται. Η Μίρα καλείται ν' αντιμετωπίσει αυτό που θεωρεί πεπρωμένο της, κι ο Δημήτρης να ξεφύγει από τον ιστό που έπλεξε γύρω τους η Μοίρα της Μίρας.
