About this audiobook
The later course of the Civil War continues to shape the lives of Katya and Dasha, Ivan Telegin and Vadim Roshchin. Long separation and changing circumstances make the future difficult to imagine through the hopes with which their journeys began. Relationships must be understood again within a world altered by experiences that cannot simply be set aside.
Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy brings private feeling into contact with questions of political commitment and belonging. The characters' attempts to recognise a direction for their lives unfold beside the movements of a large conflict. Decisions acquire meaning through what has already been endured as well as through the future they seem to promise.
The concluding novel of The Road to Calvary explores continuity and change across both personal and historical time. Its narrative invites readers to follow the development of familiar characters while considering how an understanding of home, duty and attachment can be transformed by the events through which people live.
