REVIEWS of The Space in Between

Nina, a Latvian woman, is one of countless ordinary people caught up in the tragedy of two world wars. As a child, during the first world war, and as a grown woman during the second world war she is forced by the violence and insanity around her to seek safety elsewhere, but, as she soon discovers, nowhere is safe. When, in 1944, with her life shattered and her family decimated, she dares contemplate the possibility of crossing the Baltic Sea to Sweden, she does not know whether or not she will ever see her homeland or her loved ones again. She does not even know if she will reach Sweden.

A true story spread over four countries: Latvia, Russia, Belarus and Sweden, The Space in Between highlights the catastrophe of war in the Baltic countries, especially Latvia, while relating the remarkable story of a woman who, though surrounded on all sides by violence, is able to find the strength to continue when many others would have given up.
