Description

This collection comprises three short stories, all set in and around Sebastopol in Crimea, ‘Sebastopol in December’, ‘Sebastopol in May’ and ‘Sebastopol in August’. Collectively they pose a moving argument for the senselessness and brutality of war.

First Sentence

DAWN tinges the horizon above Mount Sapoune; the shadows of the night have left the surface of the sea, which, now dark blue in color, only awaits the first ray of sunshine to sparkle merrily; a cold wind blows from the fog-enveloped bay; there is no snow on the ground, the earth is black, but frost stings the face and cracks underfoot.
