Return to Latvia Jarre Marina
"A harrowing, culturally rich memoir."--Kirkus ReviewsBuilding upon her celebrated autobiography Distant Fathers, Italian author Marina Jarre returns to her native Latvia for the first time since she left as a ten-year-old girl in 1935. Jarre visits the former Jewish ghetto of Riga and its southern forest, where tens of thousands were slaughtered in a 1941 mass execution by Nazi death squads with active participation by Latvian collaborators. In Return to Latvia--a masterful collage-like work that is part travelogue, part memoir, part ruminative essay--she looks for traces of her murdered father whom she never bid farewell.
Piecing together documents and memories, Return to Latvia explores immense guilt, repression, and the complicity Here she attempts to reconcile herself with her past, or at least to heal the wounds of a truncated childhood.
