{"product_id":"9781919503363","title":"Three Years On Fire: The Destruction of Ukraine - Andrey Kurkov (Paperback) 27-08-2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this third volume of Andrey Kurkov's war diaries, Ukraine's greatest living writer chronicles the third year of the full-scale Russian invasion from his home in Kyiv and from journeys all over the country - capturing moments of horror, resilience, absurdity and grace with an unmatched clarity. Children on a contested border wear hooded bulletproof vests to school; soldiers write haiku; professional clowns go to war; and the mother of a young soldier killed in battle uses his compensation money to create a rehabilitation centre for veterans. Roses bloom across Ukraine in quiet tribute to a florist and soldier killed in Avdiivka, remembered by those who once bought his flowers. In Pokrovsk, 7,500 residents refuse to leave a city that no longer exists - their homes obliterated but their will unbroken. And buried beneath a cherry tree, a murdered writer's final diary is recovered, a haunting echo of a silenced voice. From the home front to the trenches, Kurkov captures the rhythms of survival - the quiet rituals, joys, unexpected humour and appalling losses - in a very moving record of national endurance. Three Years on Fire is a luminous act of remembrance from a writer whose voice stands witness to everything Ukraine has lost - and everything it refuses to give up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ivybridge Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Andrey Kurkov \/ Non Fiction - History \/ 27-08-2026","offer_id":57521739989372,"sku":"9781919503363","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/2344\/8005\/files\/9781919503363.jpg?v=1790790321","url":"https:\/\/www.ivybridgebookshop.com\/products\/9781919503363","provider":"The Ivybridge Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
