„I am often asked: why Hanna and why Krevska? I reveal the secret: Hanna is our family name. Three of my grandmothers were named Hanna: two died childless, one too young, so I decided to revive this name. Krevska – because what I write is close to blood. Ours – for our own, so that they do not forget, ours – for others, so that they are respected, ours – for the world, so that the history of generations, passed from mouth to mouth, comes to life with the patterns of words“ – said Hanna about her pseudonym.
