Her latest book, Amadoka, already a sensation in Ukraine will be published in English by Simon and Schuster, who have hailed the book as a literary sensation. The work derives its title from the name of the largest lake in Europe, situated on the territory of contemporary Ukraine. The novel is not about the lake but about its disappearance, the disappearance of entire worlds and cultures, and about what remains in its place. Is there a link between World War II and the Holocaust and the destruction of the Ukrainian intelligentsia during the Stalinist repressions? What of the war Russia has raged against Ukraine, a war that began not in the 21st century, but long ago? And what of memory, collective and individual?
