Interview with Anna Morgan of Ukrainian Events in London with review of book. Discussing Ukraine.

“Since the 2014 revolution in Ukraine, many new books have been written about the country, primarily focused on its history, national identity, and sadly – the ongoing war with Russia. The book we are talking about today is something very different. Leonora Meriel, an emerging British writer, has released her first book ever, and surprisingly, it’s set entirely in Ukraine. The Woman Behind the Waterfall focuses on the fascinating beauty of Ukraine’s landscapes, traditions and the modern life of an ordinary rural family. It’s a fictional story of three generations of women in one family, all tied together by similar worries, search for happiness and love.”
