What a tragic, heart-rending event! It is well written. The gruesome event is not written in a graphic manner, fortunately. It captured my attention from the beginning, and kept me reading. Did Evelyn find her family alive, or not? If you enjoy historical fiction, even based on tragedies, you'll want to add this one to your to-read list. #bookreview #giveaway #celebrateli

POETRY FOR PEACE Well, it looks like I'm launching the first flashmob of my life. Rare, but exciting 🙂 To be honest, I've always had a soft spot for #poetry. After all, I'm the daughter of an 18th-century English literature specialist on Romanticism; it couldn't leave my mental state untouched 😆 Moreover, lately, I've been uncovering real poets around me. And lastly, I've always wondered why we so rarely recite poetry for important causes that bring us together. So, I started doing it myself, and now I invite you to join me in this game with some very interesting rules. Rules: 🥹 Choose a poem — preferably in English — so the whole world can hear your symbolic call for peace and reconciliation. It can also be an expression of grief or anger caused by the loss of loved ones, or joy upon their return home. Poems do the impossible — they express something beyond description. ❤️ If you're willing to repost the poem recitation on my special section "Poetry for Peace" on my YouTube channel, I'll provide subtitles and promotion for each of you. Here’s where they'll appear: https://lnkd.in/djRWr7qc We are particularly focused on two important conflicts for us — in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. But you can express your feelings about any conflict that touches you deeply. This includes diverse places and circumstances, from genocide in regions with no single word in media about it - to domestic violence. Remember, you can express any feelings, as long as it's through poetry. Join the game! If you like this idea, share your poems like I do. And if you don't mind seeing them on my channel in the "Poetry for Peace" section, reach out to me via any DMs in my social media. By the way, you can find all my social media links here: https://lnkd.in/dNGP4hef P.S. Inspired by myself, Geneva Initiative, and Goodly Labs
