The Threader
Ana Nityak learns that a thread can carry both memory and survival in a world unravelled by World War II. From her father’s tailor shop in Ukraine to the silence of Auschwitz, from the warmth of Italy to the crowded streets of New York, every stitch she makes holds a mark—roses for the living, scars for the lost, silence for all that cannot be spoken.
Across continents and generations, Ana’s life becomes a tapestry of intertwining stories—of triumphs and setbacks, blessed by serendipity and guided by faith. Through love found and love broken, through family lost and family remade, her thread weaves resilience into every seam.
The Threader is a haunting tale of memory and endurance, where silence speaks louder than words, and where the fragile threads of connection bind us even in the face of loss.
A novel stitched from history and heart, it when time unravels, can love, will, and thread keep lives and memories alive?

SOLOVEY is a Canadian writer, educator, mother of two adult children, and full-time servant to Simba, a dog who believes literary supervision is part of his household duties.
She writes about love, war, exile, memory, dangerous women, impossible choices, and the strange ways people keep living after the world has already burned once. Her stories move through thread and bloodline, crime and tenderness, heartbreak and inheritance, places where history is not a backdrop, but a soul.
Solovey returns again and again to the same stubborn question: what remains when everything else is taken? A name. A child. A scar. A story. A woman who refuses to disappear. A love that should have died but keeps breathing anyway.
Her fiction is shaped by heartbreak, immigration, motherhood, teaching, dark humour, and perseverance, the kind that is not pretty, not inspirational, and definitely not always well dressed. Sometimes survival is not rising from the ashes like a phoenix. It is what you crawl through before you get your wings back.
Her books are built from tenderness and teeth: lyrical prose, moral consequence, complicated families, men who learn too late, women who learn exactly on time, and characters who carry their wounds across borders, generations, and time.
When she is not writing, teaching, working, arguing with a sentence, fixing someone else’s crisis, or being emotionally audited by her adult children, she is probably drinking coffee, overthinking a cover, plotting another book she swore she did not have time to write, or explaining to Simba that lying in bed with a computer and typing in staccato is how a book is born.
Her work is for readers who like their fiction intimate, dramatic, unsentimental, darkly funny, and alive with the belief that even broken hearts can become dangerous things.
