Purge by Sofi OKSANEN - Translated from Finnish by Sébastien Cagnoli - Éditions Stock - 2010 - 410 pages - Prix Fémina étranger 2010 and FNAC Novel Prize 2010 In 1992, the Soviet Union collapses and the Estonian population celebrates the departure of the Russians. But the old Aliide, she, fears looting and lives buried in her house, deep in the countryside. Thus, when she finds Zara in her garden, a young woman who seems in great distress, she hesitates to open her door to her. These two women will get to know each other, and a heavy family secret will be revealed, in connection with the past of the Soviet occupation and the love that Aliide felt for Hans, a resistance fighter. The old lady will then decide to protect Zara to the end, whatever the price. Sofi Oksanen seizes History to build a haunting family tragedy. Breathless like a Hitchcock movie, his novel poses several exciting questions: can one live in an occupied country without compromising oneself? What judgment can be made on these betrayals or acts of collaboration once the weight of the constraint has disappeared? Questions that can only resonate strongly in the minds of French readers.
