A review by imaginarymeetings
De sista vittnena: Solo för barnröst by Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky, Svetlana Alexiévich

5.0

My heart has been broken and mended for almost every chapter. The little boy who, being as starved as the rest of his family, suggests they try to cook his most precious belonging, a toy duck for dinner. The kids who had witnessed their own family being taken away and massacred. The children who didn't have the childhood they deserved. The worst thing is that this costly and brutal kind of war still exists. These were the Alan Kurdis and Omran Daqneeshs of WWII. An exceedingly powerful book about a timeless tragedy.
