Krátky popis
'An instant classic' NIGELLA LAWSON'Sweeping, intimate, defiant and
brimming with love' LOUISE KENNEDY'It is the roots that keep the
trees from falling during a storm. Olia Hercules tells us that the
same is true for people and nations' SERHII PLOKHYI am writing this
story without knowing its end: it begins long before I was born and
will continue long after I die. I am writing this story to help
myself heal and to make you understand.Strong Roots is the story of
a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one
extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to
Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin,
to her Aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight
from Ukraine when their town was occupied in 2022.This is an ode to
the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and
recipes passed down the generations - the tang of sour cherries,
the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the
hardest of circumstances.Strong Roots brims with hope and grief. It
lays bare the compromises and betrayals of generations struggling
and surviving through war, peace, invasion and exile. It is an
uplifting reminder of how much the human spirit can endure when
born from a land rich with strong roots.
