 Great book Jan 22, 2001
By Kosovar
Believe me,this book is so beautifully written.As a Kosovar I've found it amazing how Alice could make such a great story which in fact most of it or perhaps all of it is true because these sort of things hapenned very often in Kosova. I would highly recommend this book to all of you - no matter what age you are...Well done Alice and Keep Writing as your books will always have a spare place on my library...The best of luck

Adem's Cross Apr 18, 2000
By James Koo
The author has traveled to Kosova/Kosovo, both before and after the NATO airstrikes there, and is currently active in attempts to release Kosovar Albanian prisoners held by the government in Belgrade. In Adem's Cross, the author attempts to depict rural life in Kosova/Kosovo during Serb rule, from the perspective of a Kosovar Albanian teenager, Adem(Adam). The humanity of individual Serbs and Roma(Gypsies), the ineffectiveness of several policies of the Democratic League of Kosova(LDK), the depictions of the city of Prizren and the nearby border with Albania, the views of Kosovar Albanians toward the then raging war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, and the prediction of future intervention over Kosova/Kosovo by the United States, make this book unique, in that it was published before the open emergence of organized armed resistance in Kosova/Kosovo, let alone the start of involvement by NATO.

 i would rate this a 2 Feb 04, 2006
In the story Adams cross there is a young boy named Adam. He is about 12 years old .he lives with his family in an old house. His family is discriminated because of there religion. He has a sister named Fatmaria. She is a little older the Adam. She goes to school and other stuff just like the family. She is the only one with a car in the family and she's the only one that can drive. In the story the Serbs shoot her. Her parents were told that she was at the hospital and told that she would be out and better the next day. The next day she came home dead and had never been taken to the hospital and she acutely came home dirtier and had stuff missing from her. They had decided to give her a proper funeral out in there back yard so when people drove past it they. When they had the funeral people came from different parts of the city and some people they didn't know. Adam was made because he thought that they were celebrating her death. That is most of the characters that have a main part in the book.
