Her hometown, Kyiv, was gripped by protests and violence. Crimea, where she'd once been sent to school to avoid radiation from the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, was invaded. Kharkiv, where her grandmother Valentina studied economics and fell in love; Donetsk, where her father once worked; and Mariupol, where she and her mother bought a cherry tree for Valentina's garden, all became battlegrounds. Victoria, by then an American citizen living in Brussels, felt she had to go back. She had to spend time with her aging grandmother and her cousin Dima. She had to unravel a family mystery spanning several generations. And she needed to understand how a century of her country's tragic history had changed the course of their lives. The Rooster House is a beautifully written memoir of a family, a country's past, and its dangerous present. It is about parents and children, true believers and victims, gardens and art, secrets and tragedy. Compulsively readable, deeply moving, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it is a stunning debut book by an experienced, expressive, and gifted writer. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Nonfiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Biography & Autobiography. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a History. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Politics. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Acharia, Amrita. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=9592309 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Excerpt $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=c1326871-ac1d-42bf-937c-9e4b20e9beeb&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $z Sample 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1694-1/%7BC1326871-AC1D-42BF-937C-9E4B20E9BEEB%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1694-1/%7BC1326871-AC1D-42BF-937C-9E4B20E9BEEB%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/c1326871-ac1d-42bf-937c-9e4b20e9beeb $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230804010126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C0ECA5A328C11EEBDD4A74441ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
