I will die, I will die. And nobody will know my grave. And nobody will come and remember, Only the nightingale will sing. <p>Inspired by a real-life story, <i>Black Sunflowers</i> illuminates one of the darkest times in Ukrainian history: the Holodomor or &quot;death by hunger.&quot; <p>The book begins in 1928, in Soviet-occupied Ukraine, where Veronika and her family live on their farm in the close-knit village of Kuzmin. Life is good, despite the Soviet occupation, but soon everything they have known and loved is not just altered, but demolished. <p>Told in two voices &mdash; Veronika&#39;s and her father, Janek&#39;s &mdash; <i>Black Sunflowers</i> is a vivid account of the brutal realities of life in Ukraine under Stalin. Veronika and Janek&#39;s story is a haunting, yet uplifting testimony to the strength and humanity of the people of Ukraine.I will die, I will die. And nobody will know my grave.
