No Country for Love

"No Country for Love is Doctor Zhivago meets Stalingrad – a mix of romantic historical fiction and gritty, reportage-like storytelling. No surprise: Author Yaroslav Trofimov is a top foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. He was born in and has reported extensively from Ukraine. The story he tells across decades of impossible love, war and survival rings painfully and beautifully true. The history is spot-on, going from pre-Communist times, through World War II, to the era of Stalin and after. And the stories it tells of the human heart, through the eyes of its heroine Deborah Rosenbaum and those who befriend or betray her, are unforgettable."
