Editorial Reviews
Review
An account that beautifully illustrates the way in which [children] actively engage with the experience of war. — Times Literary Supplement, February 3 2006
Has fascinating implications for the way we think about children and the way they react to crises. —
The Tablet , 11 February 2006Jones had to interview the children through an interpreter but her transcripts of the translations sound convincingly childlike and appealing. —
