Produktbeschreibung

A sweeping historical family saga of love, loss, and the unbreakable will to survive.

Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and All the Light We Cannot See.

Russia, 1917.

Florian Wagner is just a boy when revolution tears through his Volga German village. As civil war, famine, and persecution by the Bolsheviks upend his world, Florian must make an unthinkable choice: leave behind the woman he loves-or risk both their lives.

Canada, 1920s.

Half a world away, on the cold prairies of Saskatchewan, Florian fights to build a new life. Haunted by the violence he fled and the love he lost, he enters into a marriage of duty-but his heart never leaves Russia. As war brews again in Europe, long-buried secrets rise from the ashes and threaten to consume everything he's built.

Based on a true story, Nothing But White Ash traces one family's desperate escape from war-torn Russia and their fight to survive as immigrant settlers in early 20th-century Canada. Spanning decades and continents, this deeply moving novel explores the enduring bonds of family, the weight of generational trauma, and the hope that can grow from the most barren soil.

This unforgettable historical fiction novel explores:

• The persecution of Volga Germans during the Russian Revolution
• Immigration and survival on the Canadian prairie
• Love torn apart by war and betrayal
• A man's lifelong search for redemption and belonging
• Forgotten history brought to life with emotional depth and authenticity

¿¿¿¿ Heart-wrenching and beautifully told... a haunting tribute to those who risked everything for a new beginning.

¿¿¿¿ For readers of historical fiction that is both epic in scope and intimate in emotion.
