{"product_id":"book-zxnw","title":"Looking at Women Looking at War","description":"\"Unsparing and impossible-to-forget... its shape and urgency dictated by war and by its author's shining life so abruptly shredded into night.\" -The Telegraph\"An effortlessly compelling voice, simultaneously intimate and universal.\" -Financial TimesDestined to be a classic, a poet's powerful look at the courage of resistanceWITH A FOREWORD BY MARGARET ATWOODWhen Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Victoria Amelina was busy writing a novel, taking part in the country's literary scene, and parenting her son. Now she became someone new: a war crimes researcher and the chronicler of extraordinary women like herself who joined the resistance. These heroines include Evgenia, a prominent lawyer turned soldier, Oleksandra, who documented tens of thousands of war crimes and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, and Yulia, a librarian who helped uncover the abduction and murder of a children's book author.Everyone in Ukraine knew that Amelina was documenting the war. She photographed the ruins of schools and cultural centers; she recorded the testimonies of survivors and eyewitnesses to atrocities. And she slowly turned back into a storyteller, writing what would become this book.On the evening of June 27th, 2023, Amelina and three international writers stopped for dinner in the embattled Donetsk region. When a Russian cruise missile hit the restaurant, Amelina suffered grievous head injuries, and lost consciousness. She died on July 1st. She was thirty-seven. She left behind an incredible account of the ravages of war and the cost of resistance. Honest, intimate, and wry, this book will be celebrated as a classic.","brand":"Audible","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":50571292541232,"sku":"ZEzxnw","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/zxnw-Square-cover.jpg?v=1769724564","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-zxnw","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
