An international sensation, Sofi Oksanen's award-winning novel
Purge is a breathtakingly suspenseful tale of two women dogged by
their own shameful pasts and the dark, unspoken history that binds
them. When Aliide Truu, an older woman living alone in the Estonian
countryside, finds a disheveled girl huddled in her front yard, she
suppresses her misgivings and offers her shelter. Zara is a young
sex-trafficking victim on the run from her captors, but a photo she
carries with her soon makes it clear that her arrival at Aliide's
home is no coincidence. Survivors both, Aliide and Zara engage in a
complex arithmetic of suspicion and revelation to distill each
other's motives; gradually, their stories emerge, the culmination
of a tragic family drama of rivalry, lust, and loss that played out
during the worst years of Estonia's Soviet occupation. Sofi Oksanen
establishes herself as one the most important voices of her
generation with this intricately woven tale, whose stakes are
almost unbearably high from the first page to the last. Purge is a
fiercely compelling and damning novel about the corrosive effects
of shame, and of life in a time and place where to survive is to be
implicated.
