Historical
In this epic tale of friendship and loss from the author
of The Sugar Men, fate pushes childhood friends to
opposite sides of a terrible war—but is forgiveness always
possible? Ukraine, 1923. On a small farm, two boys are born within
days of each other, both Ukrainian, one Jewish. Mykhail and
Asher grow up inseparable, together finding friendship,
adventure and escape from the harshness of Russian rule. But
after Asher’s family flees to Warsaw, their worlds are torn
to shreds by the Second World War. The war brings cruelty to both boys. Although Asher finds
love in Warsaw, the city is far from the haven his family
sought; meanwhile Mykhail becomes a victim of the bitter
struggle for Ukraine. But worse follows in the shape of the
Treblinka death camp. There, both men must obey orders, and
both find their morals compromised and their souls tortured. The inhuman horrors they witness cast long shadows. Many
years later, their paths cross once more, and each man must
confront the legacy of his actions. When the darkest of
secrets can no longer be kept hidden, can their friendship
survive the final reckoning?
