Roses bloom across Ukraine in quiet tribute to a florist and soldier killed in Avdiivka, remembered by those who once bought his flowers. In Pokrovsk, 7,500 residents refuse to leave a city that no longer exists - their homes obliterated but their will unbroken. And buried beneath a cherry tree, a murdered writer's final diary is recovered, a haunting echo of a silenced voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the home front to the trenches, Kurkov captures the rhythms of survival - the quiet rituals, joys, unexpected humour and appalling losses - in a very moving record of national endurance.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThree Years on Fire\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a luminous act of remembrance from a writer whose voice stands witness to everything Ukraine has lost - and everything it refuses to give up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHardback \u003cbr\u003ePublication: 20 Nov 2025, Orenda Books\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781916788794\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 288 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57418813931902,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781916788794.jpg?v=1778843781","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/three-years-on-fire-by-andrey-kurkov","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
