Set in alternating timelines that connect the present day to the 1930s and the US to the USSR, Katherine Marsh’s latest novel sheds fresh light on the Holodomor-the horrific famine that killed millions of Ukrainians, which the Soviet government covered up for decades. But when Matthew finds a tattered black-and-white photo in his great-grandmother’s belongings, he discovers a clue to a hidden chapter of her past-one that will lead to a life-shattering family secret. His journalist dad is stuck overseas indefinitely, and his mom has moved in his one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother to ride out the Covid pandemic, adding to his stress and isolation. ![]() (Roaring Brook Press/ Macmillan, January 2023) ![]()
