...film version of Persuasion, directed by Roger Michell, seizes on this desperation, making it the film's emotional keynote. When Anne (Amanda Root) first appears, she seems almost panicked, with her pale face, thin-lipped grimace and wide, staring eyes. She is still stunned over the rupture with Wentworth, and when he is first referred to in her presence she trembles, almost weeping.

...friend Vahida Fazlagic, 64, interrupted him bitterly. She was driven from her home in Grbavica, a Serb-controlled suburb of Sarajevo, by Bosnian Serb forces. "NATO has been bombing the Serb positions. So what? That doesn't hurt them, they are sitting in their bunkers. NATO should bomb Pale [the Bosnian Serb stronghold near Sarajevo] to show them what it is like to have a massacre like we had on Monday...
