soffi_ramirez 's review for:
Voices from Chernobyl
by Marietta Maddrell, Ingrid Storholmen
I came to this book expecting one thing and then was slapped into another good thing.
I think, as many people, I expected something like the HBO show. However, this book is totally not like that, so if you expect a kind of journalistic narrative about the accident itself, this is not your book. But I think this should be everyone's book, since it explores the lives of the people involved it after the accident and how it affected in ways we couldn't even start to imagine.
I loved the author's prose and how respectful it felt for the people she interviewed. I feel it gave me a gentle insight about them and it made me look the accident not only in a scientific way (I'm a chemist, so I've always been interested in this accident for scientific purposes) but in a more human way.
Thanks for this beautiful book. Your voices has been heard.
