Description

‘This is the account we’ve been starved of: an insight into Ukraine from an authoritative British writer who has skin in the countrys game.Odesa is my discovered heart, confesses Julian Evans, who fell in love with a woman from this constantly beguiling Black Sea port andstarted a family there,the place that’s given me what I need for more than twenty-five years. An outsider turned insider, his deep personalinvolvement compelled him to the front line of an unprovoked war without precedent in Europe for nearly eighty years. His vivid, first-handreportage shows how Odesas story is inseparable from Ukraines and more than that, how it has become our story too.’ Nicholas Shakespeare
