S. is the story of a Bosnian woman in exile who has just given birth to an unwanted child—one without a country, a name, a father, or a language. Its birth only reminds her of an even more grueling experience: being repeatedly raped by Serbian soldiers in the \"women's room\" of a prison camp. Through a series of flashbacks, S. relives the unspeakable crimes she has endured, and in telling her story—timely, strangely compelling, and ultimately about survival—depicts the darkest side of human nature during wartime.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42957462372607,"sku":"9780140298444","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780140298444_s600x595.jpg?v=1776095724","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780140298444","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
