American author Elizabeth Gilbert ignited a heated online debate when she decided to postpone the release of her new novel, “The Snow Forest,” which is set in Russia. Many Ukrainians (and not only) thought that it was insensitive for a bestselling author to choose Russia as the backdrop to their novel while the country is engaged in a full-scale war against Ukraine. The book began to receive waves of negative reviews on Goodreads, mainly from Ukrainians who were angry that Gilbert (whose books have been translated into Ukrainian and is quite popular amongst Ukrainian readers) would choose to publish a novel set in Russia amid the war.
