A review by mwensley27
Dog Park by Sofi Oksanen

4.0

A bleak psychological thriller set in Finland and the Ukraine. Two main characters Olenka and Daria visit a dog park to gaze upon children born as a result of their egg donations. Both are there for different reasons. The soviet union’s collapse is imminent and we are given insight into why the two women will do anything to survive including egg harvesting. A difficult and dark read and at times the reader feels empathy and dislike for the narrator. Can’t wait to see what the author writes next.
