Reference price shown. Other editions may be available.

Two women in rural Estonia — one old, one young — whose stories interlock across fifty years of Soviet occupation, trafficking, and survival. Oksanen is Finnish-Estonian and writes from inside both traditions. The novel moves between 1992 and the 1940s with mounting dread, each revelation recontextualizing what came before. The most visceral European dispatch about what Soviet occupation did to women's bodies and women's silence. Won every major Finnish and Nordic literary prize. Essential.
