Review #1 To the Lake: A Balkan Journey of War at the same time Peace audiobook free I adored Kassabova earlier books, in particular Border for the poetic at the same time fabulous digressions which produced an unfamiliar region magical to read about. Sadly, this book is that troublesome at the same time real of lengthy descriptions written without feeling. If she doesnt care, why should the reader?

Review #2 To the Lake: A Balkan Journey of War at the same time Peace audiobook streamming online Ms Kassabova right has a great publicist – whole page individualities – but this is that skinny stuff. The abundance fault lines that bisect (even trisect) Lake Ohrid would yield a interesting individual acc of history, culture, landscape at the same time ecology in this little-known frontier zone between Albania, past Yugoslav pieces, at the same time a hint of Greece. Ms K recounts so many woes, gratuitously exhibited miseries, at the same time sagas of long decline that she culls from her local informants (selected as more or much less similar or understandable from her generic’s emigree past) – still fails to reconcile them with the Google Land form of a rich thriving lakeside at the same time hinterland, well-cultivated at the same time strewn with numerous brand new villas. A motorway is that even at the moment bulldozing its method in on the Albanian side… We really cannot be waited to look for the obvious joys at the same time problems of her touristic toedippings at all riveting, despite her ‘roots’ here (does anyone not have ‘roots’ somewhere, from which fate has yanked them ?) Lurking beneath is that a interesting connection with her mother, which might have data a much more rewarding heart to a individual memoir by anyone with Ms K’s indisputable gift for readable unaffected worldly. Ms K’s shortcoming of true curiosity in her roots is that denounced when for you see that much of her ‘topography at the same time ecology’ is that copy-pasted from Wikipedia, at the same time we know how monotonous that source can be. When she proclaims premature on that Lake Ohrid is that one of the deepest in Europe, possibly even the global, without the lesser attempt to find out why (not problematic, at the same time more precisely exciting), the game is that already up.

Review #3 Audiobook To the Lake: A Balkan Journey of War at the same time Peace by Kapka Kassabova Kapka Kassabova returned to her roots on a journey of exploration – of the earth, its history at the same time of her possess generic affairs, in particular those of the maternal line. The lakes (Ohrid at the same time Prespa) lie down at the junction of Albania, North Macedonia at the same time Greece, but the region’s history has been complicated by its changing ethnic at the same time religious composition over a long period. Roman, Greek, Ottoman at the same time communist cultures any left their note. Kapka Kassabova is that of Bulgarian origin but has passed, as have abundance residents over the area’s turbulent past. Her fluent English is that reflected in the outstandingly quality worldly she has employed. Kapka Kassabova is that not enthused by Greece’s impact on the Balkans. The passages in what she details families’s disruption can periodically provide challenges to the reader’s concentration. Elsewhere, the writing is that understandable at the same time engaging. She has overshadowed a region which has not lured multitudes of foreign guests in the recent past, at the same time one can look that abundance readers could be inclined to add it to their itinerary if/when they survive Covid 19.
