Through the Embers of Chaos: Balkan Journeys is a nonfiction book by Irish author Dervla Murphy, detailing her travels through the Balkans.[1][2] It was first published by John Murray in 2002.[3]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Human Rights Watch director Steve Crawshaw, writing in The Independent, panned the book, particularly Murphy's repeated "reluctance to address context".[2] The Guardian's Matthew Collin noted that Murphy's likability makes it easier for readers to get through the book's "relentless barrage of facts, acronyms and grim vignettes".[1] In a review for the Library Journal, Melinda Stivers Leach praised the book as "both highly educational and deeply inspiring".[4] The Irish Times' Owen Dawson also gave the book a positive review, concluding: "This is Murphy at her best – entertaining, observant, informed and, above all else, thoroughly human."[5]
