"No nation lost more people in the twentieth century than the Ukrainians" (Sasha Levkowicz)
Sasha & Olga is a moving memoir charting an Australian woman's determination to heal her uprooted Ukrainian family torn apart by war, betrayal and madness.
Spanning three generations, the journey begins with Olga and three-year-old daughter Eva's flight from communist Czechoslovakia and the start of their new life in Australia with Sasha, an Odessan Jew who managed to escape from Nazi-occupied Russia.
The saga unfolds with family disintegration, banishment, estrangement and illness. Through a process of forgiveness, painful and terrifying stories of the past are at last shared, and bring healing to Eva's family.
'Sasha & Olga' is a riveting and moving tale, told beautifully and thoughtfully by a highly skilled writer.
