Summary:
From the internationally best-selling author of Purge so when the Doves Disappeared, a spellbinding new novel set in present-day Helsinki, in regards to a young woman with a fantastical secret who’s trying to solve the mystery of her mother’s death.
When Anita Naakka jumps before an oncoming train, her little girl, Norma, is remaining 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 these around her– on the subject of Norma: A novel moving of its accord, corkscrewing when risk is near. Therefore it is her locks that notifications her, while she talks with a unusual man at her mother’s funeral, that her mother may not have taken her own lifestyle. Setting out to reconstruct Anita’s final months–sifting through puzzling cell phone records, bank statements, video files–Norma begins to understand that her mom knew more about her hair’s power than she allow on: a sinister truth beyond Norma’s imagining. As Sofi Oksanen prospects us a lot more deeply into Norma’s world, weaving together previous and present, she provides us a dark family drama that is a searing family portrait of both exploitation of women’s systems and the extremes to which people will choose the sake of beauty.
