A collection of short prose made of women's voices: voices that often go unheard, of those brutally deprived of a voice, of those who lost what they held dearest, of those who held on and fought, and of those who could not and gave in. These are short, tense, brutal and sometimes unbearably heavy stories about the many different but equally sharp experiences of life in wartime. The book is illustrated with works that women artists created after Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, adding their own stories in images to the short pieces.
