Synopsis "Norma (in Spanish)"

Tras irrumpir en el panorama literario internacional con Purga, que vendió más de un millón de ejemplares en más de cuarenta países y recibió el aplauso unánime de los lectores y la crítica, además de numerosos premios y honores, Sofi Oksanen, una de las principales voces de la narrativa finlandesa actual, vuelve a sorprendernos con Norma, una novela intensa y asombrosa que combina con gran eficacia la intriga, el realismo mágico y la crítica social. Cuando el cuerpo de Anita Ross es encontrado en el metro de Helsinki, todos los temores se confirman: la mujer acaba de tirarse a las vías. Pero Norma, su única hija, se muestra incrédula, ya que su madre jamás la hubiera dejado sola con su secreto: sus cabellos viven, experimentan emociones, cobran impulso y crecen tan rápidamente que hay que cortarlos varias veces al día. Dispuesta a todo con tal de saber la verdad, la joven decide reconstruir los últimos días de su madre, ofreciéndose incluso en el salón de belleza donde ella trabajaba, uno más de los negocios de un clan que también trafica con vientres de alquiler. Acechada por el pasado y atrapada en una maraña de engaños y explotación, Norma deberá luchar por esclarecer los hechos y alcanzar la libertad. Con una prosa imaginativa, sugerente y poética, Sofi Oksanen urde una trama inquietante sobre las redes mafiosas que se aprovechan de las mujeres, en una novela radicalmente original que va marcando su propio camino a medida que Norma Ross se sumerge en el pasado en busca de su futuro.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the internationally best-selling author of Purge and When the Doves Disappeared, a spellbinding new novel set in present-day Helsinki, about a young woman with a fantastical secret who is trying to solve the mystery of her mother's death.When Anita Naakka jumps in front of an oncoming train, her daughter, Norma, is left alone with the secret they have spent their lives hiding: Norma has supernatural hair, sensitive to the slightest changes in her mood--and the moods of those around her--moving of its own accord, corkscrewing when danger is near. 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.
