A group of women whose husbands have been killed are walking to the scene of the murder in the icy February dawn. It is snowing. Women don't talk. Like some black myrrh-bearers, but not to announce the good news, but to see the pit where the bodies of men and their fathers are covered with cinder. The snow does not stay on this black circle.

A novel about three women and a child who go through difficult events for our history. They were defeated by the totalitarian regime established by the Soviet occupation after the September 9 coup.
We all, born before and after 1989, all of us who have something in common with Bulgaria, are as shocked by these events as we were by the Chernobyl accident. The scale of the damage is just beginning to emerge. This is infamous for all of us.

What is defeat and what is victory?
The Holy Apostle Paul's famous phrase kept ringing in my head: "My strength is made perfect in weakness."
