A sealed shaft in a Donbas coal mine contains unimaginable horror: layer upon layer of human bodies, the victims of Red and White terror during the Revolution, of Stalin's purges, of the Einsatzgruppen in the Holocaust. Around this infamous pit, in a polluted region convulsed once again by war and cruelty when Russia invades Ukraine, the fates of four characters intertwine: a mysterious and powerful laundress whose dedication to cleaning the filth created by the mine attracts the suspicion of the secret police; her innocent daughter Zhanna, left alone by her mother's death; a brutal Russian militia man, who targets Zhanna; and his boss, a former KGB man turned ruthless servant of Putin. The voice of The Engineer, a murdered Jew who designed and constructed the mine, is a witness to the bloody history of the region and the terrible secret at its heart. A haunting, lyrical meditation on the legacy of dictatorship and atrocity.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50625098973403,"sku":"9781035917662-RETAIL","price":36.54,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8c56fd33-4af7-4929-8fde-6d4ccc5598e4.jpg?v=1791891123","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781035917662-retail-the-lady-of-the-mine","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
