Nino Haratischwili tells about a lost country and a lost generation, a revolution that eats its own children, about love and betrayal and an unconditional friendship between four women.
“It reads like a horrifying prelude to the war in Ukraine we are currently experiencing” – Die Zeit
“An insanely good novel” – Der Spiegel
