An airy and disturbing book w.ukraińska

Iryna Slavinska shares her personal experiences of urban life amid conflict, highlighting how even "peaceful" or rear areas need to adapt to wartime circumstances. Her book delves into shifting priorities, a sense of relative safety, and the intertwining of historical memory with an individual's connection to their home, city, and community. The narrative explores how war has taken away our peace, friends, and homes, yet in doing so, has stripped away the superfluous—things, hopes, and fears. This has left us more honest, perceptive, and surprisingly resilient. Though the past can never return, the hope of a victorious future remains certain.
