שלושה ימים בקיץ

A balding SS officer is riding his motorcycle from town to town, coming ever closer, but in one Lithuanian town between the forest and the river, the summer still seems golden and calm. A young man of striking looks sits in the horse dealer's stable, tormented by forbidden love. The pharmacist, the only one in town, goes into the woods in search of honey for his miracle cures. A teacher who wants to be a celebrated writer works away at his masterpiece, and an old witch dances around the altar of a pagan god. The manager of the department store, doing well, cheats on his wife in secret, while she plots to run away with their odd little son, who has not yet started to walk. Over three days, the book follows their lives up to the destruction that cannot be avoided.
