This is an automatically translated description

The novel is set against the backdrop of one of the greatest humanitarian catastrophes of the late twentieth century - the artificial famine and war in Ethiopia in 1984-1986. It is the story of a young Ukrainian, a military interpreter with Soviet aid groups, who searches for the causes of the tragedy, realises that he has become part of a cynical deception, and begins a desperate game with the devil. A story of choice and rediscovered identity. Two heartbreaking love stories in times of decisive change. And a family secret whose intrigue weaves the two storylines into a tight knot. A novel of testimony, a novel-panorama that opens up the unspoken pages of the past and leads to a rethinking of the current events of the present.
