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: 31UIGP000EKP_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\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: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
