Produktbeschreibung
Seventeen-year-old Debora Rosenbaum, ambitious and in love with literature, arrives in the capital of the new Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Kharkiv, to make her own fate as a modern woman. The stale and forbidding ways of the past are out: 1930 is a new dawn, the Soviet era, where skyscrapers go up overnight. Debora finds work and meets a dashing young officer named Samuel who is training to become a fighter pilot. They fall in love, and begin to become part of Ukraine's new cultural elite. But Debora's prospects - and Ukraine's - soon dim. Famine rolls through the over-harvested countryside, and any deviation from Moscow-dictated ideology is punished by disappearance: without warning, Samuel is sentenced to ten years' hard labour. Debora is on her own with a baby. And this is only the beginning. As advancing Nazi armies move through Ukraine during World War II, its yellow fields of wheat run red with blood. Forced to renounce the man she loves, her identity and even her name, Debora also learns to endure, manipulate and resist... 'A chilling account of what it means to live under a totalitarian regime... an exquisite and enduring tale of survival, courage, and resistance' Nguyen Phan Que Mai 'A literary epic... reminiscent of the literary breadth, the humanity, and the historical density found in Vassili Grossman's Life and Fate' Christophe Boltanski, winner of the 2015 Femina Prize for La Cache
