The Road to Asmara

The action of the novel unfolds against the background of one of the biggest humanitarian disasters of the late 20th century — the artificial famine and war in Ethiopia in 1984–1986.

This is the story of a young Ukrainian, a military translator in the Soviet aid groups, who searches for the causes of the tragedy and realizes that he has become part of a cynical deception, and begins a desperate game with the devil.

A story of choice and found identity. Two poignant love stories in times of decisive change. And a family secret, the intrigue of which weaves two storylines into a tight knot. A novel-testimony, a novel-panorama that opens the unspoken pages of the past and leads to the path of rethinking the current events of the present.
