Niche topic but fully absorbing narrative with interesting characters that readers will care about. Gives important context to Ukraine-Russia relations. FYI: The title is a euphemism for something bad; this NOT a book about farming.

"...when they aren't told, the stories of painful events turn into black holes…The traumas can't be seen, but the gravity surrounding them becomes so strong that it absorbs everything in their proximity." In this memoir, a writer returns to Ukraine in the wake of the Crimean invasion, uncovers a family mystery, faces her father’s death, reconciles with family, and grapples with Ukraine’s tragic history and the scars it’s left on her family tree.
