Modersmjölken by Nora Ikstena
A multi-generational family saga that traces the fraught bonds between mothers and daughters against the sweep of twentieth-century Latvian history, where intimate memories, silences and small mercies intersect with occupation, exile and social change; through lyrical yet unsparing scenes the narrator untangles inherited wounds, secrets and compromises to show how maternal love can both nourish and suffocate, shaping personal identity and collective memory.
