Synopsis

A wartime diary that follows a real-time retreat through bombardment, evacuation, and the ties that bind.

This gripping novel unfolds in the voices of a small group as they move from danger to fragile safety, drawing readers into a world of fear, duty, and fragile hope. With a focus on character and atmosphere, it invites you to experience the pressures, loyalties, and small moments of humanity that help people endure when everything is at stake.

In vivid scenes of chaos and calm, the book weaves together moments of courage, levity, and struggle. From the march through smoke and dust to the quiet, intimate exchanges that reveal what people really value, it presents a compassionate, unraveled portrait of life under siege.

• A close, character-driven look at survival, trust, and the bonds that form in crisis
• Real-time narration that places you beside the characters in moments of danger and doubt
• Evocative depictions of shelters, trains, and makeshift camps under pressure
• Reflections on love, loyalty, and the cost of war in ordinary lives

Ideal for readers of wartime memoirs and literary fiction that explores resilience, identity, and human connection under fire.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Petrograd; he stood under the dusky lamp in the vast gloomy Warsaw station, with exactly the expression that I was afterwards to know so well, impressed not only upon his face but also upon the awkwardness of his arms that hung stiffly at his side, upon the baggy looseness of his trousers at the knees, the unfastened straps of his long black military boots. His face, with its mild blue eyes, straggly fair moustache, expressed anxiety and pride, timidity and happiness, apprehension and confidence. He was in that first moment of my sight of him as helpless, as unpractical, and as anxious to please as any lost dog in the world and he was also as proud asL ucifer. I knew him at once for anE nglishman; his Russian uniform only accented the cathedral-town, small public-school atmosphere of his appearance. He was exactly what I had expected. He was not, however, alone, and that surprised me. By his side stood a girl, obviously Russian, wearing herS ister suniform with excitement and eager anticipation, her eyes turning restlessly from one part of the platform to another, listening with an impatient smile to the remarks of her companion.
