Reviews

This book is a dream, a revivalist campaign, a challenge, a fundraising vehicle, a book of days and an anthology, all in one

—— Guardian

It's a brilliant concept and should give a lot of pleasure to all ages

—— Daily Mail

The poems are a delight, some never anthologised before

—— Independent on Sunday

A very good and varied collection, with delightful oddities

—— The Times

Unfailingly honest

—— Sunday Times

Andric possess the rare gift in a historical novelist of creating a period-piece, full of local colour, and at the same time characters who might have been living today

—— Times Literary Supplement

Just as the bridge on the Drina brought East and West together so your work has acted as a link, combining the culture of your country with other parts of the planet
