Cecil the Lion Had to Die

This title tells the story of four families whose world undergoes radical changes when the Soviet Union suddenly collapses, an independent Ukraine emerges, and neo-imperial Russia starts a war by occupying Ukrainian Crimea and part of Donbas.

This novel is a must-read for those who seek to deepen their understanding of Ukrainians from the Donbas and how history and local identity have shaped the current war with Russia.
