Daughters of the Occupation

Based on a true story, this compelling novel weaves between 1941 and 1976 to explore the harrowing experiences of Miriam, a Jewish woman who survives the Rumbula massacre and its aftermath, and her granddaughter Sarah, who seeks to uncover family secrets in Cold War-era Riga. With themes of survival, guilt, and the pursuit of truth, the story offers a powerful look at the long-lasting impact of genocide across generations. Shortlisted for the Crime Writers of Canada Award, it balances historical gravity with personal resilience in a gripping narrative.
