This book is a masterpiece. It is not merely a book about thwarted love and revenge as described by the "publisher". The desire for revenge is a major theme of the book, but the revenge is about lives and dreams destroyed by the selfishness of others, individual and group. This book is set in the crazy milieu of a communist country but people are the same everywhere and the themes presented in this book are universal. The book does explore the themes of love and romance among others.
