The protagonist in Michael Kelly’s book is a Russian mother who travels to war-torn Ukraine to reunite with her soldier son
An offer at the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia war to the mothers of captured Russian soldiers was the inspiration of a new self-published novel by Sudbury author Michael Kelly.
That novel, entitled Nina, is about a fictional Russian mother, named Nina, who receives a phone call saying her son is being held prisoner in Ukraine. He is free to go home but only on one condition. She has to retrieve him. Kelly said he made the protagonist a Russian mother to show that there are people of every nationality who only want peace, “that family is stronger than nationalism.”
Kelly said he took up writing as a hobby after his retirement in 2010 from Cambrian College, where he was a business professor, teaching courses in project management to the corporate sector.
