The Girl in the Film

The Girl in the Film is a passionate novel of love, war and betrayal. Set during the early nineties siege of Sarajevo and in the anti-climax of peace, this is a gripping account of the doomed romance between Amir Begovic, a young Sarajevan trapped in his home town, and Molly Taylor, an idealistic and ambitious journalist covering the war. An extraordinarily intimate portrayal of life under siege, the Girl in the Film not only shows the compromises people have to make to live through war, but also what happens when they are left to survive the peace, once the world's attention has moved on. The story of Sarajevo, and of Amir, is told through the eyes of Molly, as she slowly uncovers the bitter truth of the man, and the city, she thought she knew and loved. Part of the profits of this book will go to Education Builds Bosnia, a Sarajevo-based charity working with war orphans.
