Ukrainian Literature Pavlo Belianskyi

This is a poignant yet ironic family saga that spans the lives of several generations of a single family against the backdrop of Ukrainian history (from the Soviet era to the start of the war in Donbas). At its heart is the figure of an indomitable grandmother who serves as the “foundation” of the family.

Grandma Didn't Like to Die is a novel by Pavlo Belianskyi, a warm, humorous, and philosophical story about a grandmother who defies death. A love of life as the ultimate force capable of resisting the inevitable.
