Моє ім'я Маріте

Alvydas Šlepikas delves into a poignant chapter of history, exploring the untold story of the "wolf children" in the aftermath of the Second World War. The narrative follows the harrowing experiences of children who found themselves orphaned and abandoned, left to navigate a world ravaged by conflict.

Through vivid characterisations, the author brings to life the struggles and resilience of these young souls as they grapple with loss, identity, and survival. The emotional weight of their journey is felt deeply as they seek connection and belonging in a society that has largely forgotten them.

The novel not only sheds light on a neglected aspect of historical trauma but also invites reflection on the bonds of family and community in times of adversity. It is a powerful testament to the human spirit’s capacity to endure and hope amid despair.
