Her hometown Kyiv was gripped by protests and violent suppression. 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. A naturalized American citizen then living in Brussels, Belim 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 her country's tragic history of communist revolution, civil war, famine, world war, totalitarianism, and fraught independence 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Belim, Victoria. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2023036819 600 10 $a Belim, Victoria $x Family. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85139343 651 0 $a Ukraine $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008117324 650 0 $a Large type books. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074712 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240126010421.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240125010608.0 952 $l FQPC224 $d 20231226010711.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013733.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025015531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=454F526472FC11EE80D9CCAA24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
