Nobel prize winner from Minsk.

Congratulation here also.

I have never read any of her books and will over time order some of the recommended ones. The Soviet system never took too kindly to strong
individuals.

ENCHANTED WITH DEATH - "Many people felt inseparable from the Communist ideology and unable to accept the new order" (From the link) is a book I might find interesting being that I was taken aback by Russians and Ukrainians who were granted refugees status here and still rue the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A little note: It is somewhat unfortunate the award was made at this time: proximity to the election in Belarus.
