Under This Unbroken Sky

Under This Unbroken Sky Synopsis

In the spring of 1938, Teodor Mykolayenko returns to his family after a year spent in prison for the crime of trying to feed them. His wife and children have been living under the care of his sister Anna on the harsh and unforgiving prairie landscape. Channelling the great inner power that enabled him to survive drought, starvation, warfare, and Stalins crimes in Ukraine, he takes to the land with unbending resolve, and as the crops grow, his family heals and strengthens. But the familys hopes and newfound happiness are short-lived when Annas rogue husband returns with an unforgiveable plan that threatens to take away everything they have built. A novel about family, pride, the resiliency and fragility of the human spirit and the fine line between those who break and those who dont, Under This Unbroken Sky is a magnificent piece of storytelling from a remarkable new voice in contemporary literature.
