Despite everything, however, the majority of the Ukrainian LGBTQ+ community denounces a hostile climate towards them. Let us also remember that by now in Ukraine–because of the war against Russia–all opposition has been outlawed, such as the Ukrainian Communist Party, and that many journalists, activists of opposition parties and ordinary citizens critical of Zelensky’s government have been arrested and convicted as traitors. And among them are also many members of the LGBTQ+ community.

The United States. A group of friends and an association that cultivates ethnic discrimination, racial superiority, and the fight against any diversity as essential pillars of its doctrine. These are the main elements of this multi-faceted novel, at times raw and hard, far from pity and useless turns of phrase, in which extreme fanaticism leads a father to desire the evil of his homosexual son, to the point of acting personally for the annihilation of this inclination. Yet “REDEMPTION DAYS” is not a novel that takes away space for hope, the same feeling that will take possession of the protagonist’s page after page, directing them to arrive very differently from the departure, a goal in which ideas change, the true virtues emerge, evil and perversions are finally removed, to achieve so, in different ways, their individual redemption.
