Both a celebration and a lament for Ukraine, a moving personal
memoir taking us from Katya's idyllic childhood with her siblings:
holidays in Crimea and carefree days working the land at the Dacha;
to the sickening impact of Putin's invasion and its effect on
Katya, her friends and family - the anxiety, fear and heartache.
The desperate attempts to make contact with friends and ensure
loved ones are safe. Throughout it all bestrides Babushka, Katya's
'favourite person on earth' still living in the family's apartment
block in Kyiv. Babushka learned fortitude at an early age when her
own mother was taken by the Germans and she was rescued by a Jewish
doctor whose identity was kept secret. When she is not growing
vegetables and making vats of borsch, she is reading the sexy bits
from novels out loud to her granddaughter. But in this last year
she has turned her hand to a recipe of a different type - Molotov
cocktails - in preparation for an attack on her apartment block.
Combining prose, poetry, collage, maps and illustrations this is a
truly immersive memoir - an authentic portrait of the impact of
war.
