Ette tiedä mitä sota on by Yeva Skalietska
informative
3.0
I read some reviews of this book and it caught my eye that several people had said that the name of the book was bad, because Jeva herself dosen't know what war is because she quickly ran away from Ukraine.
I believe that Jeva knows much better than many others what war is and the name is suitable for the book. That too is part of war and the suffering it causes, that you have to leave your home and leave everything behind, things, places and most importantly the people you love.
I thought the book was a good story of one person's experiences during the war and how the war has affected their life.
The book may not have been the best thing I have read, but I didn't expect that considering that it was written by a 12-year-old as her own diary. It still was touching and I liked that in the end of the book they had included some of Jeva's friends' experiences.
