Book review:
War is such a sensitive issue that each individual wants to get rid of it. So why not change ourselves and make life at peace. "The Life of Tolka" is based on the real story of two persons who went to Ukraine for study but got stuck in the war. The helplessness of individuals like them and the shared fear of terror is vividly seen.
In this book, I get to read the complications and the misery of people in first place. Each chapter begins with a heart wrenching picture that binds the reader to know how this misery prevailed and how people over there survived. The strength of this book lies in the striking, thought-provoking quotes that lie in the beginning of the chapter.
A few quotes that left me spellbound :
📚 "All I have is memories, and all that they do is haunt me".
📚 " Nothing is more precious than peace. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of human kind."
Both the authors have left an indelible mark in the minds of the readers. Their unique and straightforward approach towards particular social issues makes the reader to think and enquire its surroundings for peace. They pin point the basic need of peace and how common people who are facing the trauma are helpless and for others it is mere a drama.
The ending question of the author and the answer he gets in return left me with so many questions in mind and forced me to think "Is this life we want for ourselves?".
Overall, the book embarks the reader on a journey of life of Tolka , a place which got devastated during Ukraine war in 2022. The aftermath and during the war pictures of people are speaking more than author's words. Worth reading,do grab it!
