From the internationally acclaimed author of Purge and When the
Doves Disappeared, comes a deliciously dark family drama that is a
searing portrait of both the exploitation of women's bodies and the
extremes to which people will go for the sake of beauty. When Anita
Naakka jumps in front of an oncoming train, her daughter, Norma, is
left alone with the secret they have spent their lives hiding:
Norma has supernatural hair, sensitive to the slightest changes in
her mood--and the moods of those around her--moving of its own
accord, corkscrewing when danger is near. And so it is her hair
that alerts her, while she talks with a strange man at her mother's
funeral, that her mother may not have taken her own life. Setting
out to reconstruct Anita's final months--sifting through puzzling
cell phone records, bank statements, video files--Norma begins to
realise that her mother knew more about her hair's powers than she
let on: a sinister truth beyond Norma's imagining. From the reviews
of Purge: 'A phenomenon' Times 'Powerful, passionately wrought,
emotionally shattering, extraordinary' Independent 'Purge stands
out. Murder, sexual violence and political history combine to place
Oksanen in the front rank of crime novelists.' Sunday Times 'Books
of the Year' 'Finland's hottest crime writer will soon be as
well-known as Stieg Larsson' The Times 'Essential reading: Purge is
not a book to read last thing at night.' Economist
