Hey guys! If you're a fan of bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert, you might have heard that she recently cancelled the publication of her new novel 'The Snow Forest' due to the backlash it received for being set in Russia. While the book follows the story of a Russian family who hid in Siberia for decades, some readers from Ukraine were critical of the novel given the ongoing conflict between the two countries. Gilbert responded by retracting the book and offering full refunds to those who had purchased it.

So here's the discussion - do you think Gilbert made the right decision by cancelling her own novel? Some have argued that literature shouldn't be censored during times of war, while others believe that an author should be sensitive to the current political climate when writing about certain topics. What's your take on this controversy? Share your thoughts in the comments! .
