My son-in-law got this book for me as I'm writing one myself about a woman in Ukraine. This story is set in Chernobyl, after the nuclear accident that affected so many. Baba Dunja is a very likeable and wise character, also one with a good sense of humour. This latter character trait was enough to keep me interested. Her interactions with neighbours and a stranger give the story a home-spun feel. It's a book I plan to read again.
