A woman wants to claw her way out of her post-soviet Ukrainian life, and fails a little more spectacularly each time she tries.

I thought this book, originally published in Finnish and newly translated into English, was going to be straightforward literary fiction about the commodification of the female body in post-Soviet Europe. And it's about that, but there are also strong thriller elements, and the story goes in directions I wasn't expecting. I found it interesting and propulsive!
