This week, we’re exploring the story of Ukraine with its most
famous defender and cultural protector, Olia Hercules in her
first memoir, Strong Roots.


It’s the story of Ukraine that history can never tell, through
the stories of its people - and in particular, Olia’s people,
through four generations of her family.  Nigella calls
it 'breathtaking', Caroline Eden calls it cinematic, Elisabeth
Luard says: ‘Here, in all its beauty and sorrow, is the story of
Ukraine as it is, and was and surely will be again.’


Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Olia and her
photos from the family album.
