Winner of the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award. Best Book of the Year - New York Public Library, Cosmopolitan. , Independent Book Review. 'Pickhart's story is powerful, boldly imaginative, rich in history and feeling, charged with events that have occurred since it was written - and which summon up the same force of the history that compelled an American author to write about this "foreign land". ' The Times. 2014 Kyiv, Ukraine. The city is poised on a knife-edge as tensions mount around a corrupt government's increasing ties to Russia. As protests erupt across the city, the fates of four individuals come together. Katya. is a Ukrainian-American doctor stationed at a makeshift medical clinic treating wounded protesters; Misha. is an engineer originally from Pripyat, near Chernobyl, grieving the death of his wife; Slava. is a fiery young activist whose past hardships steel her determination; Aleksandr. Ivanovich, a former KGB agent, climbs atop a burned-out bus at Independence Square and plays the piano. In this dazzling, inventive debut novel - set during the 'Revolution of Dignity' - Kalani Pickhart weaves together a rich tapestry of voices to create a moving story about beauty, love and survival during tumultuous times.
