When I read Sofi Oksanen's Purge, I found her storytelling to be magical. Her debut novel Stalin's Cows did not disappoint either. The language here is perhaps even more straightforward, and a little less polished, as it rushes across the pages.

ShareTwo secrets
The story's Anna lives in Finland and carries two secrets: she is bulimic and she is from Estonia. Funnily enough, the first secret is easier to tell than the second. And this - the abysmal distance between Soviet Estonia and Finland a few decades ago - is what makes the book very interesting.

I haven't even read The Purge and I really WANT to!
I know it's great, as you say.
Can believe that this one is also extremely interesting. I will buy THAT, and The Purge, this summer.
THANK YOU for the book tips!
