Description

The Colonel's Wife A Novel by Rosa Liksom is a dark and haunting novel that conjures beauty from the ugliest of things. Set against the backdrop of fascism and Nazism, this astonishing and brave portrayal explores the complexities of an individual psychology and the perils of nationalism. Based on a true story, the narrator recounts her childhood as the daughter of a right-wing Finnish extremist and her subsequent marriage to a man thirty years her senior, who became embroiled with the Nazi elite. As the war escalates, their relationship becomes increasingly dark and destructive, rendered in prose that is both striking for its paradoxical beauty. This novel is a stark warning about the dangers of nationalism and a powerful exploration of the human psyche.
