The Light and the Dark

Fate sends two star-crossed lovers, Sasha and Volodenka, on two separate journeys across space and time.

Sasha finds herself as a young woman in a time not far from the present day.

Volodenka finds himself as a young soldier in a horrific conflict at the turn of the twentieth century.

Yet, despite their cosmic schism, their letters still reach one another; as he helps her to come to terms with life and she helps him to come to terms with death.

Half male, half female; half exploration of the physical and the immediate, half meditation on the intangible and the infinite, The Light and the Dark is a literary feat as balanced and beautiful as it is prodigious and profound.
