“Forgiveness Sunday” is historical fiction about the lives of Russian emigrants in Africa and their relatives in the USSR. The fates of two sisters separated in childhood. One of them, Maria, during the Second World War is in Africa with nomadic tribes. After the war, she is already in France. The second sister, Alexandra, is in the USSR; during the war she was a military paramedic. At the height of the war she married a fellow soldier who soon went missing and was considered dead. But already in peacetime, Alexandra learned that her husband was alive and had married again—after which he was arrested and sentenced to ten years, with no right to correspond.
The sisters suffered greatly. The first was left without a homeland, the second without the loved person. But both preserved hope.
