Sofi Oksanen, a Finnish and Estonian paintbrush originally written paintbrush in Finnish, a language close to Estonian, and it was in the recent history of Estonia that we plunges the Purge story.
Aliide Tuur lives alone on his farm in the aftermath of independence. It seems hardly loved by its neighbors and returns the favor guess is it. One morning, she finds Zara, collapsed in his yard, apparently on the run. Suspicious, Aliide eventually collect Zara and take care of her. It says to flee her husband and speaks Estonian paintbrush a little strange, paintbrush old ... Gradually the two women will discover day after day old secrets will emerge from the ground. paintbrush We then discover with them so that this is rooted in history. Here are those of war, successive occupations, German or Soviet. The actors change but the story inexorably continues, encouraged or not by men, women, children, through the forest and hunger.
At the heart of the story, one we dons an "h" capitalized, in the eye of the cyclone, fears, jealousies, nostalgia paintbrush and crazy hopes are responsible for weaving paintbrush the lives of the devote himself to oblivion then resurrect. All this tells us that Purge is both novel of history, learning story and thriller.
Three voices intersect constantly to give us each share of illusion, falsehood and truth or authenticity, those of Aliide and those of Zara, but also that of Hans that sounds like a low DC at the back map, linking people together without their knowledge and placing them all in the harsh light of history. No dramatic turn in this story where horror is never far away, where fear is everywhere diffused, but the slow unfolding of a spring that two sisters armed without even realizing it.
If Finnish literature is limited for you to laugh Arto Paassilinna, discover Sofi Oksanen, a completely different voice, perhaps more than Estonian Finnish, but in any big way
