Über diesen Titel
INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • Set in Ukraine and Finland, a captivating story of intrigue, betrayal, and murder in the global fertility market—from acclaimed writer Sofi Oksanen, "an international publishing sensation frequently likened to Stieg Larsson" (The Guardian).
Helsinki, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench, watching a family play in a dog park. A stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles; she would recognize this other woman anywhere. After all, Olenka was the one who ruined her life. And this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet, for a fragile moment, here they are, together—looking at their own children being raised by other people.
Moving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and Ukraine in the early days of its post-Soviet independence, Dog Park is a keenly observed, dark, and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West, centered on a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body.
Sofi Oksanen brings fearless psychological acuity to this captivating story about a woman unable to escape the memory of her lost child, the ruthless powers that still hunt her, and the lies that could well end up saving her.

Kritikerstimmen
"A rising Scandinavian star poses troubling questions about the double-edged sword of motherhood and the rancorous debates over women’s bodies." —Oprah Daily
"Remarkably ambitious...The translation conveys the mounting tension...Oksanen has much to say about the price of parenthood and the cost for young women who, with few other options to escape poverty, become egg donors or surrogates." —Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review
“Dog Park will tantalize...Oksanen’s tactic of deliberate opacity is popular in prestige television suspense series like 'Killing Eve,' and 'The Flight Attendant,' whose fans, enthralled by pervasive dread and beguiled by jumps between alien settings, don’t mind when motives, identities and places are hard to pin down. The confusion is intrinsic to the allure.” —Wall Street Journal
