The historical novel "Daughters of Heaven" won 3rd place in 2023 Estonian New Novel competition and takes us to the Ottoman empire during World War I and is based on the life story of Anna Hedwig Büll (1887-1981), an Estonian missionary and school teacher.

In "Daughters of Heaven", the young missionary Hedvig travels to an orphanage in the city of Marash, where the tragic war events begin to unfold before her eyes. At the moment of departure, young missionary Hedvig is unaware that she is heading straight into hell, where she must hide hundreds of children to prevent them from being sent to the Syrian desert to perish.
The central themes of the novel are individual responsibility and the potential for mercy, which begin to weigh on missionaries sent far from home amidst the turmoil of war. Step by step, by tying together fragments of the history of Estonia, Europe and the Middle East, the story of the greatness of the human soul unfolds before us.
