Хавра

After thirteen years in America and a string of failures, Nikola Markov comes back to his home town for the first time, for the funeral of his father, killed in what looks like an accident. He cannot forgive his father's sins and has urgent problems waiting across the ocean, but his plans are suddenly overturned, and an investigation of his own draws him into a dark web of interests, conflicts and dangerous discoveries. A second story, held in a manuscript that becomes part of his life, goes back to late nineteenth-century Russia, where the young aristocrat Vera Elegina longs to be free of her tyrannical sister and a stifling world. She meets MacGahan, an arrogant and brilliant American war correspondent, and with him sets out on a dramatic road to truth and freedom that ties them to Bulgaria after the April Uprising.
