« Une des oeuvres littéraires les plus fortes que j'ai lues depuis longtemps. »
Helsingin Sanomat

Alors que sa grand-mère Elsa se meurt d'un cancer foudroyant et que tous ses proches se rassemblent pour adoucir ses derniers jours, Anna découvre que, derrière le mariage apparemment heureux de ses grands-parents, se cache un drame qui a marqué à jamais tous les membres de sa famille. Une vieille robe trouvée par hasard, et dont elle apprend qu'elle aurait appartenu à une certaine Eeva, va réveiller le passé.
Cette Eeva, dont on ne lui a jamais parlé, aurait été, dans les années 60, la nourrice de sa mère. Mais Anna ne tarde pas à comprendre qu'elle a été beaucoup plus qu'une employée et que son grand-père, peintre célèbre, l'a profondément aimée...

Spectacular.

TrueRikka PulkkinenScribe PublicationsPaperback RRP $29.95As Elsa is dying she wants to die in her own home not in a hospital. As her family gathers around to support her, her husband Martti, daughter Eleonoora, a doctor, and granddaughters Anna and Maria all have different ways of coping with what is happening. The story is simply and factually told paying attention to details. I loved the details of the childhood of Ella, the child who became the pragmatic Eleonoora. But all in the lives of

I read this in English (English title is True) and am once again frustrated that Goodreads doesnt have the English version available to rate. This has happened before, mostly with Scandinavian writers. The book is sad and full of family issues that many cultures can identify with.



One of the blurbs on this book refers to the author as "A thirty-something Finnish Joyce Carol Oates." I have to agree, in the sense that her primary subject seems to be the unavoidable pain of our awareness of mortality. The narrative unfolds from multiple perspectives, and deals with loss, regret and the manner in which patterns of behavior echo through biological families, and also in the larger, 'Family of Man' sense.I've not read any Finnish literature before, but will certainly be

Poetic, lyrical and poignant meditation on love in all its guises. I don't read Finnish but the translation by Lola M Rogers is beautiful. Pulkkinen is certainly a writer whose books I would look out for.

Really fantastic work of fiction that plays with narrators and characters in a completely new, complicated way. Read as an assignment for Empathy in Literature (COLT360) at the University of Oregon.
