7/5/2023 0 Comments Kalyna by Pam ClarkIt 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.
