This is a story of broken bones and dead souls, and of a love so strong it defeats two wars, two revolutions, two separations and two deaths. An epic, continent-spanning story of a world in convulsion, of millions broken between war, displacement and revolution, and of human bonds so strong, of love so absolute, that they stretch from Sarajevo to Shanghai without snapping, and conquer all. A big, brilliant, sweeping novel of love, memory, and history in the making.
