A devastating story of the struggle of civilians caught up in the
conflict in eastern Ukraine Chosen as one of "Six Books to Read for
Context on Ukraine" by the New York Times Selected by Publishers
Weekly as one of the "20 Best Books of 2021" "Powerful . . . For
those who want a glimpse of what life will be like in Ukraine for
years to come, The Orphanage offers a frightening glimpse."-Bill
Marx, Arts Fuse If every war needs its master chronicler, Ukraine
has Serhiy Zhadan, one of Europe's most promising novelists.
Recalling the brutal landscape of The Road and the wartime
storytelling of A Farewell to Arms, The Orphanage is a searing
novel that excavates the human collateral damage wrought by the
ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. When hostile soldiers invade a
neighboring city, Pasha, a thirty-five-year-old Ukrainian language
teacher, sets out for the orphanage where his nephew Sasha lives,
now in occupied territory. Venturing into combat zones, traversing
shifting borders, and forging uneasy alliances along the way, Pasha
realizes where his true loyalties lie in an increasingly desperate
fight to rescue Sasha and bring him home. Written with a raw
intensity, this is a deeply personal account of violence that will
be remembered as the definitive novel of the war in Ukraine.
