Estonia, 1992,pouco tempo despois da independencia do país como república bática. Aliide Truu, unha anciá solitaria que vive nunha afastada rexión, atopa de mañá no seu xardín a Zara, unha rapaza rusa que, vítima do tráfico de mulleres, precisa da súa axuda para non volver caer nas mans dos seus captores. Así comenza esta historia que se abre camiño entre as traizóns, a violencia e o medo para permitir que estas dúas mulleres acaden finalmente a purificación, a purga completa das súas vidas.
Cun vibrante ritmo e unha intriga que se desvela devagar ata a resolución do enigma nas últimas páxinas, a narración alterna presente e pasado para denunciar tanto a explotación sexual na Europa contemporánea como os totalitarismos políticos do século XX, amosando de que xeito a represión que sufriu Estonia durante os anos de ocupación soviética derivou nun desarraigo da poboación autóctona que chega ata os nosos días.

Work Description

Purge (Puhdistus) is a novel by Finnish-Estonian writer Sofi Oksanen, which has been translated into thirty-eight languages. Oksanen's third Finnish-language novel was published in 2008, based upon her original play of the same name, which was staged at the Finnish National Theatre in 2007. As of 2010, Purge is the only one of Oksanen's novels which has been translated into English. It is a story of two women forced to confront their own dark pasts, of collusion and resistance, of rape and sexual slavery set against the backdrop of the Soviet occupation of Estonia.
