Overview
When Tymofiy is five years old, his small family in Cherkasy, Ukraine grows by one. Not with the birth of a baby sister or brother, but with the appearance of Felixāmentor and tormentor, enemy and friendāTymofiyās grandmotherās sometime-boyfriend. āWho are you?ā Felix screams in the depths of a confused and drunken rage at all who cross his path, his memories of the Soviet-Afghan war clouding his eyes and senses. āWho are you?ā Tymofiy asks himself as he drifts through the streets of his hometown, searching for love and protection, for a better, happier way of life.
A gritty, realist depiction of Ukraine and the post Soviet world, this book offers an affecting yet honest look into the life of someone suffering from PTSD. It is a story of growing up without much hopeĀ for a better future, and yet intense moments of connection and kindness persist. Just when things begin to seem insurmountably dark, a friendship begins, a kind word is said, or a hand reaches out and opens the curtains, letting in a little light.
