It is 1890 when three young women head toward a meadow hidden in
the woods outside the village of Shipkovtsi, Bulgaria. As Trina,
Vella, and Dobrinka meet in front of an old monastery, a family
treasure held secret for generations is revealed. In the end, there
are three piles of gold-one in front of each sister-but one pile is
bigger than the others. An inheritance has been unfairly divided,
leaving two sisters feeling cheated.
In "ASHES of WARS," Radka Yakimov narrates the story of the
descendents of two of those Bulgarian sisters. Reconstructed
historically on the basis of recorded facts, stories handed down
from generation to generation, and her own personal recollections,
Yakimov chronicles the main events that impacted the lives of four
generations of Bulgarians throughout the twentieth century. As she
relays a saga about the twenty-three men, women, and children who
escaped in search of a safer place, Yakimov takes her readers
beyond the confines of Bulgaria into Yugoslavia, to a refugee camp
in Trieste, and finally to new lives in Canada and America.
"ASHES of WARS" profiles the courage, grit, and determination of
the people of a beautiful Balkan country torn by wars and
oppression, but sustained by hopes for a brighter future.
