I bought a copy of Sofi Oksanen's 'Purge' while I was in Norfolk this weekend and became instantly gripped by the first few pages. I'm now patiently waiting to finish work and go home to a hopefully empty house, make a pot of tea, and to catch up on the the final few chapters. This book really deserves a wide readership. 'Purge' is published in the UK by Atlantic Books. It has been a number 1 bestseller in Finland and has won numerous literary prizes, including Finland's including Finland’s premier literary award, The Finlandia Award. How long now before a Finnish/Estonian production film is made?
