Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in Sarajevo is the journal of the young Bosnian girl Zlata Filipovic. Her journals chronicle her experiences during the Bosnian War between 1991 and 1993. Political tensions, the different strains placed on children and adults, and the cruelties inflicted on the Bosnian populace make up the bulk of Zlata's observations. Her reflections on daily life during the war, and on her family's struggle to survive, are poignant and mature.
