AWAKENING
A Love Story Forged in War

From the war-torn fields of Ukraine emerges one of the most compelling love stories of our generation—a stunning literary debut that stands alongside Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms as a masterpiece of romance born from the ashes of conflict.

When James Miller, a disillusioned Yale student visiting with a humanitarian organization, is shattered by an artillery strike in eastern Ukraine, he awakens in a German hospital to find more than just his body has been broken. Enter Brigitta Weber—a nurse from former East Germany whose clinical precision masks a philosopher's soul. As she tends his wounds, she challenges everything he thought he knew about the world, about himself, and about love.

Their connection defies borders and ideologies. She is European pragmatism to his American idealism. She is direct where he is uncertain. She is his bridge between worlds that should never meet—yet in her Berlin apartment, as James heals both physically and spiritually, they forge something neither expected: a love built not on romantic illusions, but on brutal honesty, intellectual passion, and the shared recognition that truth matters more than comfort.

But love in wartime demands impossible choices.

When duty calls James back to Ukraine's gray zones of corruption and compromise, the distance between Berlin and Kyiv becomes more than geographic. Can their connection survive the moral complexities of a war that recognizes no clean lines? Can love endure when built on the ruins of everything you once believed?

Written in spare, powerful prose that echoes Hemingway's economy while capturing the complexity of our modern world, Awakening is both a searing war narrative and an achingly intimate portrait of two people finding each other across the wreckage of broken certainties.

For readers who loved A Farewell to Arms, All the Light We Cannot See, and The English Patient—this is the love story you've been waiting for.

"A bridge between worlds... a love that transcends ideology, geography, and the comfortable lies we tell ourselves."

• Epic, emotionally inspiring romance
• Intelligent literary fiction with philosophical depth
• War stories that capture the human heart
