NPR calls Andrew Krivak’s debut novel, The Sojourn “a gripping and harrowing war story that has the feel of a classic.” It is a stirring tale of brotherhood, coming-of-age, and survival, that was inspired by the author’s own family history. This novel evokes a time when Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, and Germans fought on the same side while divided by language, ethnicity, and social class in the most brutal war to date. 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.
