Was published, I think last yr, about a woman who walks up to a military outpost and wont move. I can't remember the title and i know this isn't much of a description, but I am curious if anyone remembers it. It was on a lot of best book lists/amazon best reads. I think it was posted in the last two yrs, but I am not certain of this.

It could also be set in Iraq. One of the two.

Following a desperate night-long battle, a group of beleaguered soldiers in an isolated base in Kandahar are faced with a lone woman demanding the return of her brother’s body. Is she a spy, a black widow, a lunatic, or is she what she claims to be: a grieving young sister intent on burying her brother according to local rites? Single-minded in her mission, she refuses to move from her spot on the field in full view of every soldier in the stark outpost. ...
Based on that plus the fact that Jason shelved this in June 2014, we're going to call this solved.
