Summary
Spring 1938. After nearly
two years in prison for the crime of stealing his own grain, Ukrainian
immigrant Teodor Mykolayenko is a free man. While he was gone, his wife,
Maria; their five children; and his sister, Anna, struggled to survive
on the harsh northern Canadian prairie, but now Teodor—a man who has
overcome drought, starvation, and Stalin's purges—is determined to make a
better life for them. As he tirelessly clears the untamed land, Teodor
begins to heal himself and his children. But the family's hopes and
newfound happiness are short-lived. Anna's rogue husband, the arrogant
and scheming Stefan, unexpectedly returns, stirring up rancor and
discord that will end in violence and tragedy.
Under This Unbroken Sky is a mesmerizing tale of love and greed, pride and desperation, that will resonate long after the last page is turned. Shandi Mitchell has woven an unbearably suspenseful story, written in a language of luminous beauty and clarity. Rich with fiery conflict and culminating in a gut-wrenching climax, this is an unforgettably powerful novel from a passionate new voice in contemporary literature.
