Excellent but emotionally difficult. I couldn’t put it down and I’m so glad I read it. 

However, be aware that it contains first person accounts of death from radiation poisoning, and the effects of radiation on infants and children.

Couldn’t handle the whole situation, couldn’t read a single story without crying. Even tough I have read Svetlana’s books about war, this one hits different, it changed my perspective of the accident, it made Tchernobyl real.
