The Dust That Falls from Dreams

Main Ideas

• The fragility of human life amid historical upheavals, where the characters’ destinies are swept up in the storms of the First World War, and love and friendship become their only anchors in a world ravaged by loss.
• Loss and resilience: the novel explores how people learn to live with pain and emptiness after the deaths of loved ones, and how memories of the past become part of their new reality.
• The power of female endurance and selflessness, embodied in the lives of the McCosh sisters, who, despite grief and disappointment, continue to seek meaning and light in everyday life.
• A rethinking of traditions and social norms: against the backdrop of an era of change, the characters are forced to reconsider their views on family, duty, faith, and love, discovering new horizons of personal freedom.
• The poetry of the everyday: the book is filled with subtle observations of the beauty and tragedy of simple moments, where even the dust falling from the sky becomes a symbol of memory, hope, and the unbreakable link between past and future.
