« 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...

Judgment Of Books L'Armoire des robes oubliées

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

Totta is an absolute delight to read, if feeling like crying your heart out for an unspecified reason constitutes as a delight. The story picks at your heart strings, but never in a sentimental, clichéd way. The story is full of refreshing sentences about the state of our world and human relationships, with no pretentiousness or high-falootin' word choices thrown in the mix. The story can be read in a multitude of ways: on one level it is a story of how a family copes with the approaching loss

Good lord, this book broke my heart. Reading a book in Finnish always makes everything feel a little bit special. And this book is definitely special. I am not sure how Pulkkinen's writing translates into English but if you want to read some contemporary Finnish literature, I highly recommend this. It focuses on the relationship between a woman who is dying and her husband. He and their family are trying to deal with the grief of losing someone so near to them. Once the granddaughter Anna finds

"True" by Riikka Pulkkinen was unlike any book I had ever read before. The story of a family secret that comes to light when Anna, the granddaughter of Elsa and Martti, discovers the dress of her mother Eleonoora's nanny, Eeva, tucked away in the back of a closet for decades. Pulkkinen weaves a tale of betrayal and sadness by shifting perspectives throughout the novel. Partly narrated by the granddaughter, Anna, and partly told by the nanny, Eeva, one is able to see the ramifications of one

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.

I love stories where a long held secrets reverberating effects are seared into generations. This is that type of story. The story and secret of grandparents, revealed when the grandmother knows she has little time left.
