Three Years on Fire

In this new volume of Andrey Kurkov's war diaries, Ukraine's greatest living writer chronicles from his home in Kyiv and from journeys all over the country - capturing moments of horror, resilience, absurdity and grace with an unmatched clarity - what has become the third year of the full-scale Russian invasion. From the home front to the trenches, Kurkov documents the rhythms of survival - the quiet rituals, unlikely joys, unexpected humour and appalling losses - in an intimate and moving record of national endurance. Three Years on Fire is a luminous act of remembrance from a writer whose voice stands witness to everything Ukraine has lost - and everything it refuses to give up.
