Translated from the Norwegian by Tiina Nunnally.

Author's first novel. Fifty years after the battle of Stalingrad, Markus, a former German soldier, seeks atonement from an Armenian priest for his part in the Nazi invasion of Russia. Framed by the 9-day Nagorno-Karabakh conflict of 1994, this is a powerful and lyrical meditation on war and the pity of war. "Magnificent and deeply moving... enters the mind of a young German fighting at Stalingrad." –Guardian
