Based on real family events, Danny Scheinmann's novel paints a dramatic portrait of two apparently unconnected epic love stories. 1992: Traveling through South America with his girlfriend, Leo wakes up in a hospital to find his girlfriend is dead. He blames himself for the tragedy and is sucked into a spiral of despair. 1917: Moritz is a POW fugitive, with seven thousand kilometres of the Russian steppes separating him from his first love, whose memory has kept him alive through carnage and captivity. The war may be over, but he now faces a perilous journey and the insecurity of whether his love is still waiting.
