Helsinki, 2016. Olenka sits on a bench, watching a family play in a dog park. A stranger sits down beside her. Olenka startles -- this is the woman whose life she ruined decades ago. And now this woman may be about to do the same to Olenka. Yet, for a fragile moment, here they are, together -- looking at their own children being raised by other people. Moving seamlessly between modern-day Finland and post-Soviet, newly independent Ukraine, Dog Park is a keenly observed dark and propulsive novel set at the intersection of East and West, centered in a web of exploitation and the commodification of the female body.
