THE HEMINGWAY BOOK CLUB OF KOSOVO. de Huntley, Paula - (2003.)

New York:: Tarcher / Putnam, , (2003.). Hardcover first edition -. Very good in a fine dust jacket (prev owner's name, a few lines underlined.). First printing. From the dj: "In the spring of 1999, the world watched as more than 800,000 Kosovo Albanians poured over Kosovo's borders, bringing with them stories of torture, rape, and massacre. One year later, Paula Huntley's husband signed on with the American Bar Association to help build a modern legal system in this broken country, and she reluctantly agreed to accompany him. Deeply uncertain as to how she might be of any service in a country that had seen such violence and hatred, Huntley found a position teaching English as a Second Language to a group of Kosovo Albanians in Prishtina. A war story, a teacher's story, but most of all a story of hope, [this] is the journal Huntley kept in scattered notebooks or on her laptop over the eight months that she lived and worked in Kosovo."
