WITH A FOREWORD BY PHILIPPE SANDS AND AN INTRODUCTION BY ANDREY
KURKOV 'If you read only one book about the war, this is the one to
read.' -Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm 'Unforgettable. An
immediate history of a cruel war and a personal chronicle of
unbearable loss' -Simon Sebag-Montefiore, author of The World
Killed by shrapnel as he served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
Olesya Khromeychuk's brother Volodymyr died on the frontline in
eastern Ukraine. As Khromeychuk tries to come to terms with losing
her brother, she also tries to process the Russian invasion of
Ukraine: as a historian of war, as a woman and as a sister. In a
thoughtful blend of memoir and essay, Olesya Khromeychuk tells the
story of her brother - and of Ukraine. Beautifully written and
giving unique, poignant insight into the lives of those affected,
it is an urgent act of resistance against the dehumanising cruelty
of war. 'If you want to understand Ukraine's determination to
resist, Olesya Khromeychuk's book is essential.' -Paul Mason,
author of How to Stop Fascism [A] tender and courageous book...
Khromeychuk's clear-sighted prose expresses the pain that
thousands, even millions, have felt in every conflict, past and
present. -The Literary Review Magazine 'A touching and brilliantly
written account about grief, and also about strength. I read it in
one night.' -Olia Hercules
