And so it is her hair that alerts her, while she talks with a strange man at her mother's funeral, that her mother may not have taken her own life. Setting out to reconstruct Anita's final months--sifting through puzzling cell phone records, bank statements, video files--Norma begins to realize that her mother knew more about her hair's powers than she let on: a sinister truth beyond Norma's imagining. As Sofi Oksanen leads us ever more deeply into Norma's world, weaving together past and present, she gives us a dark family drama that is a searing portrait of both the exploitation of women's bodies and the extremes to which people will go for the sake of beauty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Finnish. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic realism (Literature) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Beauty, Personal $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Magic realist fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Witesman, Owen, $e translator. 941 $a 7 952 $l BEPA251 $d 20231028011840.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529013036.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190920010036.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717034239.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111248.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710042445.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170930010347.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B196E149AA411E7B594194897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
