'Wild Swans for Ukraine ... rich and magnificent' Bookseller 'A paean to hope and home. I loved it and it will haunt me' HELEN MACDONALD 'Marvellously vivid and often heartbreaking... I read it in a single enthralled sitting' MIRANDA SEYMOUR 'An instant classic: an essential book in these darkening times' SOPHY ROBERTS 'Compelling, beautifully written... an insight into the complexity of Ukraine's history' MERIEL SCHINDLER In the Ukrainian city of Poltava stands a building known as the Rooster House, an elegant mansion with two voluptuous red roosters flanking the door. It doesn't look horrifying. And yet, when Victoria was a girl growing up in the 1980s, her great-grandmother would take pains to avoid walking past it. In 2014, while the Russian state was annexing Crimea, Victoria visited her grandmother in Bereh, the hamlet near Poltava that was a haven in her childhood. Just before the trip she came across her great-grandfather's diary, one page scored deep with the single line: 'Brother Nikodim, vanished in the 1930s fighting for a free Ukraine.' She had never heard of this uncle and no one - especially her grandmother - seemed willing to tell her about him. Victoria became obsessed with recovering his story, and returned to her birth country again and again in pursuit of it. In the end, after years of sifting through Ukraine's post-Soviet bureaucracy, after travelling to tiny, ruined villages and speaking to the wizened survivors of that era, her winding search took her back to the place she had always known it would - to the Rooster House, and the dark truths contained in its basement. Inspired by the author's love for her family, and peopled by warm, larger-than-life characters who jostle alongside the ghostly absences of others, The Rooster House is at once a riveting journey into the complex history of a wounded country and a profoundly moving tribute to hope and the refusal of despair.

A timely and deeply moving memoir of a Ukrainian family and the country's tumultuous history In the Ukrainian city of Poltava stands an elegant mansion known as the Rooster House, thanks to the two voluptuous red roosters flanking the door. It doesn't look horrifying, and yet, when Victoria was a girl growing up in the 1980s, her great-grandmother would take pains to avoid walking past it, because the Rooster House was home to the secret police. Victoria grew up in Ukraine, moved abroad to the United States, then on to Europe. But in 2014, when Russian annexed Crimea and the landmarks of her personal geography--Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Mariupol--were plunged into violence and tumult, she felt she had to go back. She had to visit her aging grandmother, and at the same time, she became obsessed with unraveling a family mystery spanning several generations, sparked by a line in her great-grandfather's diary: "Brother Nikodim, vanished in the 1930s fighting for a free Ukraine." It was an investigation that could only lead one place: Rooster House. Inspired by the author's love for her family, and peopled by warm, larger-than-life characters who jostle alongside the ghostly absences of others, The Rooster House is at once a riveting journey into the complex history of a wounded country and a profoundly moving tribute to hope and the refusal of despair.

This collection of stories was woven and spun from the fabric of our familys childhood. As a bedtime ritual, John told our young children nightly stories with main characters of their choice. Our son always chose a rooster and our daughter chose a different item each night. Using these two topics, John would spontaneously create a fantasy story meant to spark imagination (and occasionally teach a lesson or moral; however, some were just plain silly and had us all laughing in stitches and reminiscing about them for days). Shannon secretly wrote down several stories and compiled them in a simple book which John received for Fathers Day, one year long ago. John was surprised and thrilled that his family had taken the time to commemorate his nightly creativity for posterity.
