However after the neighbour’s block of flats is bombed by a Russian missile, and Sveta makes a gruesome discovery, her tiny safe world gets turned upside down. Her father immediately decides that the time has come for Sveta, her mother and small brother to leave and travel by train, to a safer nearby country until the war is over. The story follows Sveta’s adventures, both literal and spiritual on the journey, to eventually cross the border into Poland and start a new life.
