We present Anatoly Pristavkin’s novella “A Golden Cloud Slept Over.”
It tells about the war-time children’s home teenagers.
This is a very truthful story about a time when children grew up early, but despite the frightening and cruel circumstances they did not lose the ability to enjoy life, to make friends, and to help others.
This novella is a writer’s call for justice—the call that adults must be responsible for the fates of children— and everyone should hear it.
