Overview

A survival story that traces a harrowing family secret back to the Ukrainian famine.

Thirteen-year-old Matthew is miserable: his journalist dad is stuck overseas and his mum has moved his one-hundred-year-old great-grandmother in to ride out the pandemic. Then he finds a tattered black-and-white photo that holds a clue to a hidden chapter of her past – the Holodomor, the terrible famine that devastated Soviet Ukraine in the 1930s.
