"Set in Ukraine, beginning in late 1918, the novel concerns the fate of the Turbin family as the various armies of the Russian Civil War - the Whites, the Reds, the German Army left over after Russia left the First World War, and the peasants of Ukraine fight over the city of Kiev. Real historical figures such as Petlyura and Skoropadsky feature as the various Turbins are caught up in the turbulent effects of the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War on their lives."
