"As much as I already know about the Chernobyl incident, nothing I've read has affected me as much as the first monologue in this book. The widow of one of the first firefighters on the scene talks about the early days, her husband's illness and death, and the birth of her daughter. Very intense and emotional."
"Life changing. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant melted down in 1986 in the Ukraine. This book is an engrossing read of memoirs detailing the effects of that experience on the landscape and so many people's lives. Heart-wrenching and addictive. You wouldn't think you'd like it, but it's probably in my top 10 favorite non-fiction books. This book will season your soul."
"An excellent collection of narratives from the Chernobyl disaster, each coming together to create a poignant portrayal of a collective and individual disaster."
