Description

When Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, millions of lives changed in an instant. Millions of people were suddenly on the move. For one young reporter from the north of Scotland, the journey began in Moscow and ended on the border of Romania, where she began to cover the human cost of Russian aggression.

With no institutional backup or security, Jen Stout's reporting brought the war home to readers in Scotland, sharing stories from the front lines, cities across Ukraine, and the people caught in the middle. Her vivid account is a powerful exploration of identity, history, hopes, and fears in this war in Europe.

Accessible and highly readable, Night Train to Odessa is a deeply personal and empathetic portrayal of the human cost of war. A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, it has won several awards and has been shortlisted for others.
