All three become transformed by the conflict they have risked everything to record.\n\nIn this much-heralded debut, Tatjana Soli creates a searing portrait of three souls trapped by their impossible passions, contrasting the wrenching horror of combat and the treachery of obsession with the redemptive power of love.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312674449\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0312674449.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Soli, Tatjana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
