Title : The Wardrobe of Forgotten Dresses - Riikka Pulkkinen - Book
Summary :
Anna's grandmother, Elsa, is struck down by devastating cancer. Surrounded by her loved ones, she intends to enjoy every moment, every pleasure, to the very end: the rays of the sun, the sea bathing, or the body of Martti, her husband of over fifty years, against her own. But Anna discovers that behind this happy marriage lies a tragedy that has forever marked all the members of her family. It is an old dress forgotten in a wardrobe, found by chance, that will awaken the past... Praised by Finnish critics, this moving novel gracefully combines freshness and power, lightness and depth. Corinne Renou-Nativel, La Croix. In a simple but unfussy style, Riika Pulkkinen knows how to describe with precision the different ages of happiness and suffering. Certain scenes, certain pages of this novel, border on perfection. Nils C. Ahl, Le Monde des livres.
