From a pile of letters written in Russian, this book is a reflection of how important I believe it is that real life history is preserved - and not, as so often happens, lost forever.
It may have taken around 14 years from start to finish - but finally Letters to my Brother has now been published. Telling the story of hardships in the Ukraine from 1920 to 1943, it's taken me 3 years to type the more than 200 pages, edit, proof and design the book. It has been a true labour of love for this relative of the writer, and she, I and the lady who translated the book from Ukrainian to English celebrated with champagne and Ukrainian delicacies.
