  ‘No one chooses to be a refugee. To leave your home – all that’s familiar – all that you love. The war in Ukraine has added many millions more to the 70 million people who are being forcibly displaced around the world. Every year. No one chooses to be a refugee. But we can choose how we respond. Now. And always.’This is the story of Katyar Tokar, a young married teacher from Kharkiv, who survives the first terrible assaults of a vicious enemy, witnesses her home destroyed, and her life thrown into confusion. This is her own story, moving, descriptive and evocative in turn, a story of so many in Ukraine after the illegal invasion of 24 February 2022. It is a gripping story of courage, hope, strength and endurance. For no-one chooses to be a refugee.

  Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

  Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
   
   
   
  Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.
