Description
Spanning fifty years and continents, this sweeping novel traces the intertwined destinies of two families caught in the currents of history. From the ashes of Nagasaki in 1945 to the volatile landscapes of Pakistan and Afghanistan, the narrative explores the enduring impact of war, political upheaval, and personal loss. At its heart, it is a story of love, betrayal, and the search for belonging in a world forever changed by conflict. The novel masterfully weaves together intimate human dramas with the grand sweep of global events, offering a profound meditation on memory, identity, and the shadows that linger long after the fires have died.
