![]() It begins with the treacherous journey of the young couple Katja and Wasyl coming from the Ukraine to Canada to create a homestead on the prairies once they hear of the free land being offered. ![]() It’s an engaging story of historical fiction, with it’s plot rooted in the true history of Alberta. Kalyna is one of a few books they’ve sent me to review, and overall I really enjoyed it. That was a bit of a spoiler, sorry about that. But of course I wouldn’t be so excited about this publisher if I didn’t love the books they’ve sent me so far. So now you’re wondering how I can give an honest review if I’m so excited about the publisher-trust me, I can do this. ![]() ![]() So, check out their website right now and buy a few books to show your support. Before I get into the actual review, I wanted to point out some exciting news this book is published by Stonehouse Publishing, a brand new Alberta publisher based out of Edmonton! Very exciting (and a little bit crazy) right? Besides opening a new independent bookstore, opening up a small fiction press is probably one of the riskiest ventures right now, but I commend Stonehouse for their bravery, and we in the Alberta writing community should do all we can to make sure they succeed. ![]()
