Franchetti Bond

Hosted by Franchetti Bond, Anna Shevchenko will be reading extracts from her book.

Stories in the book range from profoundly moving to darkly funny and downright surreal, these true tales of Ukrainian life in the time of war will leave no one indifferent.

This book was printed under shelling in Ukraine, 40km from the front line. The designer’s flat suffered from the explosion while she was creating the cover. Everyone who worked on the book did this for free.
