A political thriller set mainly in Estonia during the dying days of
the Soviet Union, but also in Russia, Finland and Sweden. It
follows a group of young pro-independence dissidents who have an
elaborate scheme for smuggling copies of KGB files out of the
country, and whose fates are entangled, through family and romantic
ties, with the security services who are tracking them. It
describes the curious minutiae of everyday life, offers wry
observations on the period through personal experience, and asks
universal questions about how interpersonal relationships are
affected when caught up in momentous historical changes. This
sometimes wistful examination of how the Estonian Republic was
reborn after a long hiatus speaks also of the courage and complex
chemistry of those who pushed against a regime whose then weakness
could not have been known to them.
