Borderland

"Gripping history . . . Reid writes with authority having lived for three years in Kiev as a reporter.  She is remarkably clear-headed about the many competing versions of Ukraine's history and its mostly invented heroes." - The Tiems

"A beautifully written evocation of Ukraine's brutal past and its shaky efforts to construct a better future . . . Borderland is a tapestry woven of the stories of all its inhabitants, recording their triumphs and their conflicts with the fairness of a compassionate outsider." - Financial Times
