Daughters of the Occupation | Retro Reads Bookstore

A fascinating read that alternates viewpoints between a young Jewish woman in Latvia during WWII and her granddaughter in Chicago in the 1970's. Sarah eventually travels back to Latvia to find out more about her family's history and particularly more about her grandmother, Miriam. (The novel includes graphic and haunting scenes from the Holocaust.)
