The literary bestseller that took the Baltics by storm now published for the first time in English. This is an intimate portrayal of three generations of women with everything on the line. The Soviet state steps in and leaves them destitute. All seems lost, until the political change stirring in Riga offers them a chance to take their lives back.
This novel considers the effects of Soviet rule on a single individual. The central character in the story tries to follow her calling as a doctor. But then the state steps in. She is deprived first of her professional future, then of her identity and finally of her relationship with her daughter. Banished to a village in the Latvian countryside, her sense of isolation increases. Will she and her daughter be able to return to Riga when political change begins to stir?
