Description
As the German-Soviet War intensifies in 1942, the Schaposhn ikov family finds the distant conflict drawing ever closer to home as Soviet forces establish themselves in Stalingrad. Through the experiences of the family’s many members and their wider circle, the novel portrays civilians and soldiers confronting fear, separation, duty, and the daily demands of survival. Expansive in scope yet deeply attentive to individual lives, it offers a sweeping portrait of wartime Russia, its landscapes, and the moral complexities of history. The first volume of a monumental two-part work, this powerful novel combines epic storytelling with compassionate psychological insight.
