"The Sojourn" by Andrew Krivak

The Sojourn by Andrew Krivak is a novel about the son born to Slovak immigrants in Colorado. After some tragedies he and his father return to what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He ends up fighting in World War I. It tells of his life before, during and after the war. He lives for a time in the newly formed Czechoslovakia. It is a very moving novel. The author has also written a book of memoirs. This book is a well-written book. There are very likable characters, and some characters who are not very likable. Prejudices are also a theme, one of these prejudices is that against Gypsies. This is another book that I highly recommend.
