Когда дождь и ветер стучат в окно

People's writer of Latvia Arvid Grigulis in his novel “When the Rain and Wind Knock on the Window” tells about the events that took place in Latvia and abroad from the spring of 1944 to the spring of 1947.

Based on real documents (court cases, eyewitness accounts, letters, diaries, memoirs, etc.), the writer introduces us to the instructive story of five Latvian guys who fled to Sweden.

The logic of events turns out to be stronger than their good intentions to simply “wait out” difficult times.

This is a fascinating, action-packed novel about delusions, voluntary and involuntary crimes against the Motherland.
