I loved the way it was written, how neither of the main characters had names and how the pov shifted between them. It is so clear that the characters stand for so much more than just themselves. It's so poetically written, and even though it spans so many years none of the pacing feels off.

Powerful, sad, symbolic and, at a degree, hopeful. You notice subtleties that makes the read deeper and frivolities that makes you wish for the best. So much can be seen from the outset of two women and their mother’s milk.

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.
