YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WAR IS
SKALIETSKA, YEVA
***A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR***Featured on This Morning, Steph's Packed Lunch, Radio 4: Today and Channel 4 NewsEveryone knows the word 'war'. But very few understand what it truly means. When you find you have to face it, you feel totally lost, walled in by fright and despair.
Until you've been there, you don't know what war is. This is the gripping and moving diary of young Ukrainian refugee Yeva Skalietska. It follows twelve days in Ukraine that changed 12-year-old Yeva's life forever.
She was woken in the early hours to the terrifying sounds of shelling. Russia had invaded Ukraine, and her beloved Kharkiv home was no longer the safe haven it should have been. It was while she was forced to seek shelter in a damp, cramped basement that Yeva decided to write down her story.
