German Book Premiere
In this 1000-page epic, Sofia Andrukhovych explores the painful history of her country through the fates of three women. She interweaves the war in eastern Ukraine with the repression under Stalin, and sheds light on Jewish-Ukrainian relations and the Holocaust under German occupation. »If ever a novel has found a form and a tone for the history of Ukraine in all its suffering and with all its abysses, then it is this dizzying epic« (SZ).
