You Don't Know What War Is

Autor Yeva Skalietska
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2022
Yeva Skalietska's story begins on her twelfth birthday in Kharkiv, where she has been living with her grandmother since she was a baby. Ten days later, the only life she'd ever known was shattered. On February 24, 2022, her city was suddenly under attack as Russia launched its horrifying invasion of Ukraine. Yeva and her grandmother ran to a basement bunker, where she began writing this diary. She describes the bombings they endured while sheltering underground, and their desperate journey west to escape the conflict raging around them. After many endless train rides and a prolonged stay in an overcrowded refugee center in Western Ukraine, Yeva and her beloved grandmother eventually find refuge in Dublin. There, she bravely begins to forge a new life, hoping she'll be able to return home one day.

Recenzii

Yeva speaks a truth that all of us, young and old, must listen to.
The most important story of our times told from the inside by the best narrator: a wise twelve-year-old girl.
This book has touched my heart in a way that I am finding hard to put into words. Everyone, absolutely everyone, should read it. You will love Yeva.
This is one of those extraordinary books that will haunt readers for a very long time.
[A] heartbreaking revelation of war through a child's eyes.
This is the eloquently written and important hour-by-hour account of what happened on and after February 24, 2022, when Yeva Skalietska woke up to the sound of explosions in her home town of Kharkiv, near Ukraine's Russian border. She had just turned 12 and had lived an ordinary, happy life until that moment. Her diary tells of the days of taking refuge in basements, then fleeing to western Ukraine and Hungary before she and her grandmother found safety and a new home in Dublin. The book has contributions from some of Yeva's friends who are still in Ukraine, and is a rare and moving chronicle of war from the point of view of children.
This is an important book - a recording of history written by Yeva, a young person, whose words and feelings reflect so many who rarely get an opportunity to be heard. A herstory of Ukraine for posterity.
Yeva is a young Ukrainian girl and this is her diary. It starts on February 14, her 12th birthday, and chronicles her flight from war alongside her grandmother, ending up in Ireland. It's written with honestly and heart, and gives an important child's eye view of war. Children's books: 56 cracking reads to keep kids entertained this Christmas
The heart-stopping account of the war in Ukraine, You Don't Know What War Is by 12-year-old Yeva Skalietska, who escaped to Ireland, is a vital read by everyone. Teenage page-turners
I wish Yeva Skalietska hadn't felt the need to write this book but I'm glad that she did write it - because it is exhilarating, shattering, heartbreaking, brilliant. It's an extraordinary book.
Yeva's diary allows the reader to experience war through the eyes of a child and her story will endure long after this terrible war ends.
I'll never forget the first time Yeva read extracts from her diary to me in a refugee shelter at the start of the full-scale war. With this book, we all get that privilege.
It resonates beyond the particular to convey what it means to lose everything suddenly, the horror of bombardment and the need to make those who run from danger safe.
Powerful and poetic, this beautiful book shows the very worst and the very best of humanity. Essential reading.
A book to make you count your blessings.
