A Loss The Story of a Dead Soldier Told by His Sister Zusammenfassung

A Loss The Story of a Dead Soldier Told by His Sister Olesya Khromeychuk

This book is the story of one death among many in the war in eastern Ukraine. Its author is a historian of war whose brother was killed at the frontline in 2017 while serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Olesya Khromeychuk takes the point of view of a civilian and a woman, perspectives that tend to be neglected in war narratives, and focuses on the stories that play out far away from the warzone. Through a combination of personal memoir and essay, Khromeychuk attempts to help her readers understand the private experience of this still ongoing but almost forgotten war in the heart of Europe and the private experience of war as such. This book will resonate with anyone battling with grief and the shock of the sudden loss of a loved one.

Moving, intelligent, and brilliantly written, this is a sisters reckoning with a lost brother, an emigres with the country of her childhood, and a scholars with her own suddenly acutely personal subject matter. A wonderful combination of emotional and intellectual honesty; very sad and direct but also rigorous and nuanced. It even manages to be funny.Anna Reid, author ofBorderland: A Journey Through the History of Ukraine
There has always been too much silence around the armed conflict in eastern UkraineEurope's forgotten war. Olesya Khromeychuk refuses to bend to this silence. In vivid, intimate prose and with unflinching honesty, she introduces us to the brother she lost in the war and found in her grief.
