Why read it?

1 author picked The Lost Daughters of Ukraine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved Erin Litteken’s multi-generational novel The Lost Daughters of Ukraine because it dared to explore the complicated Ukrainian story during the Second World War.

Having unraveled a bit of my own Ukrainian-born mother’s experiences, I appreciate the effort and research behind Litteken’s work. Fictionalizing family trauma is never without risk and I commend Litteken’s skill in exploring this minefield of emotion and memory.
