Amazon product description:Deep in an Estonian forest, two women, one young, one old, are hiding. Zara is a prostitute and a murderer, on the run from brutal captors - men who know how to punish a woman. Aliide offers refuge but not safety: she has her own criminal secrets - traitorous crimes of passion and revenge committed long ago, during the country's brutal Soviet years. Both women have survived lives of abuse. But this time their survival depends on revealing the one thing history has taught them to keep safely hidden: the truth. A haunting, intimate and gripping story of suspicion, betrayal and retribution against a backdrop of Soviet oppression and European war.
-------------------------------
This is a story about the political history of Estonia and its relationship with Russia, This is also a book about sexual abuse and violence against women. And it is a novel about crime, obsessive love and human relationships.
A disturbing, but captivating book.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
The book is now on its way to Norway, to Haugtussa, who choose it from the First Sentences VBB. Enjoy!
The book arrived safe and sound, it looks like an interesting read.
Quite a disturbing book. Especially Zara's life in Germany was grotuesque- and just to think women still have a life like that.
I thought the characters were well describede, and Aliide's struggle between the past and the future seemed very true.
