The novel is about the Chernobyl incident. I interviewed several people with first-hand accounts, and it's an emotional event. I'd like to have it published, but will need a cover for it.
The story follows the path of 3 characters, a child, a young woman and an elderly man. The theme of memory and nostalgia flow through each, as well as the feeling of being uprooted.
The title is "the law of soil" and is metaphorical to the story. I imagine the design will be as simplistic as possible.
