Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Teenage War Survival Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Alison Risher

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked this book to read because of the title. To be frank, I knew it was a war memoir, but I was thinking seashells, not mortar shells. Once I recovered from my chagrin, I devoured the book. It is quite poignant and timely since we have the war in Ukraine going on presently. At one point, the author was sent to live with her grandmother, who was born in the same year as my grandmother. This memoir brings to life the daily details of living through a war to those of us who haven’t had the misfortune to experience such tragedy.
