In 1941 the German Reich holds Europe from the Baltic to the Black Sea, the war has spread to Africa, and the victors are redrawing the map of a continent meant to be ruled by the Aryan race. Bulgaria has to choose: standing up to the strongest army of the day means certain disaster, but an alliance with Germany could leave the country on the losing side once more. The novel follows the conflict through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier and of ordinary people caught in the path of the German advance, and asks whether anyone can dream of a better future, or of reaching a national ideal, while the whole world they knew is turned upside down.
