All Russians Love Birch Trees by Olga Grjasnowa

Grappling with the trauma of her past and the sudden death of her boyfriend, Masha embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes her from Frankfurt to Israel. Through her experiences, the story explores themes of displacement, cultural integration, and the search for belonging in a world marked by personal and political upheaval.
