Book 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.
