The Siege

Kars's review

Jan 07, 2018

it was amazing

bookshelves: fiction, history

Spectacular. Works as a gripping historical fiction of the siege of an Albanian fortress by Turks. But clearly there is more going on in this book and it gradually creates something like a literary metaphor for contemplating conquest, statehood and national identity.
