Time of Light - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Time of Light begins as Markus, a former German soldier, seeks atonement from an Armenian priest for his part in the Nazi invasion of Russia. Captured at the Battle of Stalingrad, Markus never returned to Germany, but tried instead to work out his destiny in the country and among the people he feels he has desecrated. His two friends who fought with him and survive the battle take different paths, one going east to build bridges, the other returning to Germany to seek consolation at home. Overcome by grief and shame, Markus turns his back on everything, including his Jewish first love Rachel and their son.
Framed by the 9-day Nagorno-Karabakh conflict of 1994 - the immediate cause of Markus's tears - The Time of Light is created from a series of tales, tales of war and tales of women, that arise from Markus's conversations with the priest.
