"The literary bestseller that took the Baltics by storm, now published for the first time in English.
This novel explores the effects of Soviet rule on a single individual. The central character in the story – a nameless woman – 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, where political change begins to stir?"
The book has been published in Latvian under the title Mātes piens.
Available at the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia (Latviešu strēlnieku laukums 1, Riga).
