Description
Set against the devastating opening days of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, this moving novel follows ordinary people whose lives are transformed by war. A young ballet student is called to defend his country while trying to help his beloved reach safety, as families face impossible choices between escape, duty, and those left behind. Alongside them, volunteers take up arms and two courageous doctors remain to care for the wounded and deliver babies in bomb shelters. Through these intertwined stories of sacrifice, resilience, courage, and devotion, the novel explores how love can endure—and give meaning—even amid unimaginable loss.
