Why read it?
1 author picked Voices from Chernobyl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book has gained in popularity, lately, with the publishing of the Chernobyl series on HBO. The stories are haunting, but incredibly important.

Alexievich has done wonderful work in this tome.
From Veronica's list on incredible real life stories.
