Daphne Kalotay discusses her novel Russian Winter. It tells the story of Nina Revskaya, once a great star of the Bolshoi Ballet, who decides to auction off her jewelry collection. She finds herself overwhelmed by memories of her homeland and of the events, both glorious and heartbreaking, that changed the course of her life half a century ago.
