A devastating story of the struggle of civilians caught up in the conflict in eastern Ukraine
âA nightmarish, raw vision of contemporary eastern Ukraine under siege. . . . With a poetâs sense of lyricism . . . [Zhadan] unblinkingly reveals a countryâs devastation and its peopleâs passionate determination to survive.ââPublishers Weekly, starred review
Recalling the brutal landscape of The Road and the wartime storytelling of A Farewell to Arms, The Orphanage is a searing novel that excavates the human collateral damage wrought by the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. When hostile soldiers invade a neighboring city, Pasha, a thirty-five-year-old Ukrainian language teacher, sets out for the orphanage where his nephew Sasha lives, now in occupied territory. Venturing into combat zones, traversing shifting borders, and forging uneasy alliances along the way, Pasha realizes where his true loyalties lie in an increasingly desperate fight to rescue Sasha and bring him home.
Written with a raw intensity, this is a deeply personal account of violence that will be remembered as the definitive novel of the war in Ukraine.
