Irena’s Gift is about complicated mother-daughter relationships and what happens when refugee families don’t talk about the past, and the unravelling that occurs when it’s finally brought to light. Irena’s Gift is about a daughter who subconsciously wants to heal her mother’s pain. In Irena’s Gift, Karen braids together a mystery and a deeply researched history to create vivid scenes from Pre-War Poland to Post-War Germany so that readers can connect to her grandparents’ and mother’s resilience, to the story of love and betrayal, to the acts of kindness and courage that saved her mother’s life, and the choices that people make during and after war to survive.
