Author Interview with Kalani Pickhart

Kalani Pickhart's debut novel, I Will Die in a Foreign Land, is set during the 2013-2014 Euromaidan protests in Kyiv that triggered Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and the Donbas region, and directly lead up to the present day. Here she speaks to BookBrowse about her research and writing process for this timely novel.
