“I was absolutely swept up in this story…We are privy to their lives in full turmoil—affairs, loves, losses, brutality, and survival—in this total swirl of events. I couldn’t put down this book. Brilliantly written. Very evocative. The characters and their lives seemed so real that I miss them now.”
“A beautiful evocation of an ordinary decent people surviving a troubled world in tumultuous times…Highly recommended.”
