"Flowers of Darkness" is the second novel by the famous Israeli writer Agaron Appelfeld to be published in Ukrainian translation, after "Katerina". The novel is set in the author's native Chernivtsi and its surroundings against the backdrop of the Holocaust. There are two main characters: the Jewish boy Hugo and the Ukrainian prostitute Mariana. Quite simple at the plot level, this novel is able to push the reader to reflect on the nature of good and evil, on the first and last love, on loyalty to the word and on the price that one has to pay in times of the greatest darkness for trying to save at least one other person's life.
