NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALISTDAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE WINNERA stirring tale of brotherhood, coming of age, and survival during World War IThe Sojourn is the story of Jozef Vinich, who was uprooted from a 19th-century mining town in Colorado by a family tragedy and returns with his father to an impoverished shepherds life in rural Austria-Hungary. When war comes, Jozef joins his adopted brother as a sharpshooter in the Kaisers army, surviving a perilous trek across the frozen Italian Alps and capture by a victorious enemy.Strikingly contemporary though replete with evocative historical detail, The Sojourn is the freestanding, first novel of Andrew Krivaks award-winning Dardan Trilogy, which concludes with Like the Appearance of Horses. Inspired by the authors family history, it is also a poignant tale of fathers and sons, addressing the great immigration to America and the desire to live the American dream amid the unfolding tragedy in Europe.
