Daisy
Exceptional. I loved this sad story.

“I looked on as they organized me to go on living.”

“... fainted by the Kuindzhi.”

Set in Latvia from 1969 to 1989 when the Berlin Wall collapsed. Soviet Milk is the story of a mother and daughter navigating their way through life under Soviet rule.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, particularly the relationship between the Mother and the Daughter.
