Looking at Women, Looking at War

Mehr zum Buch

WITH A FOREWORD FROM MARGARET ATWOOD, this poignant work serves as crucial evidence of the suffering endured by the Ukrainian people during a criminal attack. Written by a poet who tragically lost her life while conducting research, it stands as a testament to her heroism. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Victoria Amelina transitioned from novelist and mother to war crimes researcher, chronicling the stories of remarkable women who joined the resistance. Among these heroines are Evgenia, a lawyer turned soldier, Oleksandra, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who documented war crimes, and Yulia, a librarian who uncovered the abduction and murder of a children's author. Amelina meticulously recorded the devastation of schools and cultural centers and gathered testimonies from survivors of atrocities. As she returned to storytelling, she crafted what would become this powerful account. On June 27, 2023, while dining with fellow writers in the Donetsk region, a Russian missile struck the restaurant, inflicting severe injuries on Amelina. She succumbed to her wounds on July 1, leaving behind an extraordinary narrative that captures the horrors of war and the resilience of those who resist. Honest, intimate, and wry, this work is destined to be celebrated as a classic.
