From the acclaimed writer of Purge ("a stirring and humane work of art" [The New Republic]) comes a riveting, chillingly relevant new novel of occupation, amount of resistance, and collaboration in Eastern European countries. It's 1941. In Communist-ruled, war-ravaged Estonia, two men are fleeing from the Red Army--Roland, a fiercely principled flexibility fighter, and his slippery cousin, Edgar. Once the Germans appear, Roland switches into concealing; Edgar abandons his unsatisfied better half, Juudit, and takes on a new identification as a devoted supporter of the Nazi regime. In 1963 Estonia is again under Communist control, freedom even more out of reach behind the Flat iron Curtain. Edgar is now a Soviet apparatchik, desperate to hide the secrets of his previous life and stay near to those in power. But his fate remains entangled with Roland's and with Juudit, who may hold the key to uncovering the reality. Great works of deception and heroism collide in this masterful tale of surveillance, love, and betrayal, as Sofi Oksanen brings alive the frailty--and the resilience--of mankind under the shadow of tyranny.
