Summary: "A new translation by Anna Gunin and Arch Tait. 'It may be poisoned with radiation, but this is my home… Even a bird loves its nest'. 'A collage of oral testimony that turns into the psychobiography of a nation not shown on any map… The book leaves radiation burns on the brain' Julian Barnes, Guardian. 'A searing mix of eloquence and wordlessness… From her interviewees' monologues she creates history that the reader at whatever distance from the events can actually touch' Julian Evans, Daily Telegraph. 'Alexievich serves no ideology, only an ideal: to listen closely enough to the ordinary voices of her time to orchestrate them into extraordinary books"' Phillip Gourevitch, New Yorker. -Back CoverTranslation of: Чернобыльская молитва
