Old Aliide Truu lives alone in a cottage in the woods, pestered by flies she wishes would leave her in peace. Her isolation is interrupted when she spies a young woman under a tree in her garden. The girl is strange; arriving in the dead of night, bruised, dirty and shoeless - why is she at Aliide's door? Overcome by curiosity the old woman decides, warily, to take her in. Zara is on the run from me who tortured, raped and sold her into slavery. Her only possession is a tattered photograph of her grandmother and another woman; in which Aliide recognises herself and her sister. Horrified, she begins to realise that the past she has long tried to forget has finally caught up with her ... Purge is a hauntingly intimate portrait of one family's shame against the backdrop of European war. It is a fiercely compelling novel about what we will accept just to survive and the legacies created by our worst experiences.
