White Rabbits — Bili Kroliky (Ukrainian Edition, Paperback) by Sonya Kapinus

Step into the emotional currents of 20th century Odessa with White Rabbits (Білі кролики) by Sonya Kapinus. This Ukrainian edition (2024) spans 242 pages in a compact 145 × 205 mm paperback format, blending memoir, epistolary novel, and historical narrative. 

Set in Athens, 1922, the novel unfolds through letters written by Sonya to a friend in Constantinople, reliving memories of her life in Odessa — its cultural vibrancy, Jewish intelligentsia, theater, the harsh turn of war, and the struggle of emigration. 

Sonya’s correspondence traces the arc of love, loss, and identity: her fiancé, a prominent Odessa physician, disappears during the chaos. As she recounts the beauty of her homeland and the fractures of history, White Rabbits becomes a heartfelt ode to memory, survival, and the price of keeping one’s roots alive.

This edition preserves the full text in Ukrainian and is published by Orlando Publishing House. Its compact size and captivating voice make it ideal for lovers of literary fiction, historical epics, and Ukrainian cultural narratives.
