No One Talks About the War

A powerful, offbeat narrative of encounters with ordinary Ukrainians living through war.

"No One Talks About the War" is built on everyday conversations, mainly between the author and people she meets. It is written from an extraordinary place at a crucial inflection point: Ukraine in the midst of a protracted fight for its very existence. These conversations are woven together as a journey across Ukraine, from the western regions, where relative peace hangs in the air, to the front lines, where life is measured in days and hours, exploring themes of language, history, and the steadfast commitment of a people facing an uncertain future.
