Daniil Granin. She and Everything Else. A Novel About Love and More

Magda Werner and Anton Chagin met in Berlin. The Great Patriotic War had long since passed, but the painful memories remained alive; their destinies, shattered by the war, remained unhealed.
Magda is the fruit of a fleeting, forced affair between a Russian lieutenant and her mother. His Majesty Chance led to the birth of an unwanted child... Hating Russians is what the girl should do, but life has its own agenda, and Anton appears in her destiny... Love knows no boundaries, nationalities, or time; once ignited, it burns not because of, but in spite of! When they sat silently, holding hands, that was enough. The universal clock stopped... But! She doesn't want to live in Russia, he doesn't want to live in Germany. How will this romance end?
The love story of very different people, real historical facts, scientific research, and memories of the war and the siege are cleverly and inextricably intertwined in the author's new work into one indivisible whole...
