The battlefield is a common story of sacrifice, horror, and loss and is usually one that is limited to men. This story is different in that the characters who affect the most change, strength and compassion are women. Hirut is an orphan whose only possession is a gun given to her by her father. She goes from working in a household as a servant to the battlefields and becomes very involved in her country's fight for freedom against Italy. Hers is a journey of sacrifice, pain, and courage. The author's colorful language paints a vivid picture both on the battlefield and in small gestures of kindness even in a violent setting.
