When the Doves Disappeared by Sofi Oksanen

From the internationally acclaimed author of Purge comes a chillingly suspenseful, deftly woven novel that opens up a little-known yet still controversial chapter of history: the occupation, resistance, and collaboration in Estonia during and after World War II.

At once a historical novel, a crime story, a psychological novel, a romance, a war novel.. An explosive book with a dark heart * Le Monde (France) *
Oksanen belongs in the premier league of literature... Such a powerful and moving story * Dagsavisen (Norway) *
Constantly alive and pulsating without for a second losing the perfect pitch * Allehanda (Sweden) *
The intrigue holds the reader like a spy novel in the style of le Carré * Le Magazine Littéraire (France) *
One of the best translated fiction books of 2015. * The Independent *
