BookLife Prize Critic's Report The Last Bridge Across Mostar Author Jeana Kendrick Kendrick's ambitious plot follows Katrina Winslow, an American living in 1990s Bosnia, as she struggles to take care of a group of refugee orphans following a raid that killed their caretakers-and Katrina's fellow Americans . . . As Katrina wades through the waters of war-and the accusation that she's functioning as a spy-she must learn who she can and can't trust, all while experiencing a personal metamorphosis from unfettered to driven by a special purpose. Flashbacks add depth to the story, and Kendrick delivers plenty of background to structure the history behind the novel . . . Kendrick strikes a nice balance between historical perspectives and character-driven moments, allowing readers a glimpse into an important time period for Bosnia alongside a cast of deeply engaging, appealing characters who undergo believable transformations. Katrina's musings and reflections on how her world changes are engaging and intuitive, speaking to a larger context of destructive hate and discrimination. Her gradual understanding of the motivations driving the war in Bosnia is mirrored in the way her relationship with Lucien Brezak changes throughout the novel, and readers will be swept into their story as their mission merges into one.
