Penguin reveals the audiobook release of The Unwomanly Face of Conflict by Svetlana Alexeivich, read by Julia Emelin and Yelena Shmulenson. Bringing together a large number of voices in her distinctive style, The Unwomanly Face of Conflict is Svetlana Alexievich's assortment of tales from Soviet women who resided through the next World Conflict: on leading lines, on the home entry and in occupied territories. As Alexievich offers voice to women who are absent from official narratives - captains, sergeants, nurses, snipers and pilots - she shows us a new version of the war we're so familiar with, creating an extraordinary alternative history from their private stories. Shared in 1985 in Russia and now available in British for the first time, The Unwomanly Face of Conflict was Alexievich's first book and an enormous best seller in the Soviet Union, building her as a brilliantly revolutionary writer.
