Shadow behind the sun by Ramzeja Sherifi

I don't know what to make of this book, was it a story about the Kosovan civil war or asylum seekers in Glasgow? Bit of both I guess. The story promised a lot but delivered a lot less as the book presented little in detail, maybe I expected too much? The story revolves around the life if the author and her experiences as an asylum seeker in Glasgow. Both stories are presented from a very personal subjective angle set with occasional mentions of geopolitical context. There are details missing, like the relationship between Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia as all three are ethnic Kosovons. Do the people want a united Albania instead if three independent governments for instance? The book could have done a much better job of presenting Kosovo to the world, opportunity lost.
