Her main character Madina ventures on a journey to her old homeland. It is a story about the abyss into which a war plunges so many families. \u201eThe Smell of Soot and Roses\u201c is based on countless conversations with war survivors and their family members. In real life, the war that Russia has started against Ukraine rages on. It is dragging the EU deeper and deeper into the conflict. Rabinowich's new homeland, Austria, is finding it difficult to position itself in solidarity with Ukraine and clearly name Russia's war of aggression. How does the author deal with this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Julya Rabinowich<\/strong>, born in St Petersburg, has lived in Vienna since 1977.
