Description: International Praise "The reading experience is pure pleasure . . . Norma is not only the story of a young woman and her identity, both perched on the outskirts of the ordinary, but also a suspenseful mystery." -- Turun Sanomat (Finland) "Sofi Oksanen is one of the brightest shining stars in Nordic literature . . . I want to devour Norma whole--and at the same time pause to make it last longer. Oksanen is simply fantastic, and here she is at her best." --Norrkpings Tidningar (Sweden) "True to herself, Oksanen denounces a globalization that turns human beings into merchandise . . . A hair-raising novel." -- Livres Hebdo (France) "A peculiar and disturbing novel that evokes the universe of filmmaker David Cronenberg . . . Norma impresses as much as it sends shivers down our spines." -- Lire (France) " Norma is an urgent story of beauty ideals, fertility, and women's vulnerability to exploitation . . . There is something tough and inexorable about Sofi Oksanen: she grabs the reader and demands we listen." --VLT (Sweden) "Hold on tight, because this is the best novel you will read this fall." --Femina (Denmark)
