My grandfather danced better than anyone

This book tells the story of five families whose children meet on the first day of Ukraine's independence and become lifelong friends. Their life path includes complex historical events, from the Holodomor to the Second World War, from the nineties and emigration to the war in Donbas. This book is not just a history of families, but also the process of accepting the past and its influence on us. She talks about the connection of generations, about the desire for love and acceptance, about loneliness as a consequence or a cause. The book tells about losses that can be meaningful or meaningless, justified or senseless. But the main thing that the author wants to convey to us is that even in difficult moments, when everything seems lost, there is hope for happiness. This is a book about surviving and living, even when things seem hopeless, and that, in the end, there is always a chance to find happiness.
