Recensioner i media

A very short novel that contains multitudes. A young Russian composer flees Moscow, heading for Ukraine, desperate to escape Stalin's purge of intellectuals in 1941. Then Russia's war with Nazi Germany begins and his life turns upside down. How will he survive? What means and reserves of character does he have at his disposal? Profound, moving, haunting - full of resonances that are even more valid in today's fraught times. A mini-masterpiece.
