The Chernobyl Privileges: A NovelI was asked to review this book by Lovereading.co.uk

I watched on TV first hand when the Chernobyl disaster unfolded in 1986 and knew then the impact would carry on well after our live times. I have watched a lot of factual programmes on this and remember the Ukrainian Club in Bradford helping the children of this terrible disaster.


The book  tells the story of a Ukrainian Chernobyl survivor who comes to the UK and adopted in the UK. He becomes a nuclear physicist employed in Scotland he is in a naval base. A incident on s nuclear submarine bring the horror of Chernobyl back to him, This is about him facing up to his past and survival.

This book is a good read, not surprising it is upsetting at times, well researched and recommended.
