"At its best, THE KEY TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE captures the human drama at the core of the trials by focusing on a handful of victims. Tracking them down in war-shattered Bosnia and Rwanda, and visiting them repeatedly over a period of years, Neuffer manages to convey in intimate and sometimes painful detail the trauma of their personal ordeals and the importance of their search for justice....Neuffer deserves considerable credit for tracking down these individuals and telling their stories. She has brought to this task prodigious research and exemplary reporting. Unfortunately, her book is unevenly written. She has not come up with a strategy that succeeds in weaving into a coherent whole so many disparate themes and personal stories. Her book has a kaleidoscopic quality that leaves the reader struggling to keep track of names and places and multiple narrative threads....Neuffer, Elizabeth is the author of 'Key to My Neighbor's House Seeking Justice in Bosnia and Rwanda', published 2001 under ISBN 9780312261269 and ISBN 0312261268.
