How Are You?

This is a diary book by Ukrainian journalist, psychologist, and blogger from Kharkiv, Anna Gin. She sincerely and touchingly describes her experience of living through the first year of the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine.

The book consists of short entries that Anna kept daily throughout the year. The author shares her thoughts, feelings, and experiences related to bombings, evacuation, loss of loved ones, disappointments, and new discoveries of the meaning of life.
«How are you?» is not just a book about the war, it is a book about the resilience of the human spirit, about unity, and about how even in the most difficult times, hope can be found. This is the author's answer to friends and acquaintances, to such a simple, yet incredibly complex question of Ukrainian life today — How are you?
