A review by books_with_brandon
By the Second Spring: Seven lives and one year of the war in Ukraine by Danielle Leavitt

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I'v always been a big advocate of what one can learn through another's lived experiences. This book was very well written. Coming from the West all we hear and are exposed to is what is reported to us from the news which is not often representative of the true facts. The narration was well done. 
Engaging, emotional. This book was also a reminder that this story is not over. Making headlines in 2022 when the invasion happened it's so to forget that this is still happening. 

Job well done by Danielle Leavitt on this book.
