About this listen

 Finland, 1901. Eeva, the young orphaned daughter of a revolutionary, is sent from the orphanage to work as housekeeper for Thomas, a widowed country doctor. Her enigmatic presence disturbs Thomas as much as it fascinates him, shattering all the certainties of his life. Eeva longs to be back in Helsinki with the comrades of her childhood, particularly Lauri. But life there is full of danger. The power of the Russian Empire over its subject peoples is growing more oppressive, but resistance to the Tsar's rule is growing too. Some call such resistance terrorism; others call it a fight for freedom. This spellbinding story of love and loneliness is also about the tensions that arise in a country emerging into independence.©2006 Helen Dunmore Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Romance

What the critics say

"Helen Dunmore writes old-fashioned stories with old-fashioned plots about characters you immediately warm to or distrust but either way want to know what happens to them."( The Guardian)
