“No One Talks About the War” is based on a series of everyday conversations, mainly between the author and the people she meets. It is written from an extraordinary place at a crucial inflection point—Ukraine in the middle of a protracted fight for its very existence. The author specifically avoided politicians and famous figures, choosing instead to let cab drivers, pensioners, and local workers speak freely. The narrative follows a journey from the relative peace of the western regions to the front lines, where life is measured in days and hours, exploring themes of language, history, and the steadfast commitment of a people facing an uncertain future.
