Both her authoritarian tendencies and her ecstatic engagement with the natural world are vividly and terrifyingly evoked in The Colonel's Wife, an astonishing and brave novel that resonates painfully with our own strained political moment. At once complex and hideous, sexually liberated and sympathetic to the darkest of political movements, the narrator describes her childhood as the daughter of a member of the right-wing Finnish Whites before World War II, and the way she became involved with and eventually married the Colonel, who was thirty years her senior. During the war, he came and went as they fraternized with the Nazi elite and retreated together into the deepest northern wilds. As both the marriage and the war turn increasingly dark and destructive, Rosa Liksom renders a complex and unsavory character in a prose style that is striking in its paradoxical beauty. The Colonel's Wife is both a brilliant portrayal of an individual psychology and a stark warning about the perils of nationalism."--Provided by publisher. 500 $a "First published as Everstinna in 2017 by Like Kustannus Oy, Helsinki"--Title page verso. 546 $a Translated from the Finnish. 648 7 $a 1918-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women fascists $z Finland $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Military spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reminiscing in old age $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Military spouses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021483 650 7 $a Reminiscing in old age. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094438 650 7 $a Women fascists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177671 651 0 $a Finland $x History $y 1918-1939 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Finland $x History $y 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Finland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205503 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Rogers, Lola, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015659.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200227010846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC35F0E6586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
