Sofi Oksanen explained the original title as follows: "Puhdistus is all that is related to action to clean Clean, wash, purify, sanitize ... but also ethnically cleanse, purge the meaning of Stalin.".
On 19 August 1991, independence was restored, the USSR recognizes and Estonia joined the UN. Leave for a people who have known number of territorial occupation that one will find in the rest of the story: German and Soviet occupation (between 1940 and 1991).
Zara has left Vladivostok shortly after the Soviet Union's fall to settle down with her "husband" to make money. But in fact, this husband leads her into the lowest prostitution. There are just some "unsustainable" scenes in the novel. She will flee Berlin to take refuge in Estonia, sigh in where it has its roots.
Two jealous sisters of the same man. Ingel wife Hans Aliide but secretly loves. Hans is a declared opponent and is wanted by the state police, so that for years he will be hidden in two sisters but torture, two sisters are going to be victims seems loose language, so Inge is sent to Siberia.
Periods, the characters alternate in short chapters, but the narrative sigh in filt is very well built, making fluid narration of a very high literary level. You could say "sensitive souls" refrain from reading a few pages harsh, but they have a place to show the unbearable difficulties of living under Stalin.
I had a little difficulty in returning sigh in to this book, very descriptive, especially sigh in at first, but from the second part, the plot rude us "captive" and leads us to get carried away by the majestic language Sofi Oksanen.
yes very close to the situation faced by his countrymen a tough time for all these countries taken under Russian domination
I will follow your advice and read very soon. Planned purchase during my next visit in bookstores. And thank you for the very interesting historical sigh in contextualization, as you suggest in your article.
