A Ukranian reader, Iryna Kostina, just reached out with kind thoughts about Lilac Girls. It brings the horrors of war closer to talk with people going through it. Her thoughts below…
Hello! I’m so grateful for this book! I’m from Ukraine. This book helped me to understand that really kind people stay kind in any case. But fake kind people show their faces in difficult times. We stay strong! and support our army. I saw your book first time in May 2021 and huge book exhibition in Kiev. I noticed it for myself but that time I was not ready for this story. But in a year, after staying in bombshells, after being left by some relatives and friends I understood the story. I felt it.
