Kristiina Ehin

Planeta pożeraczy serc

Kristiina Ehin’s prose combines boundless imagination with a keen eye for reality. Emotions that might easily escape the reader in a realist story find their full expression in her allegorical imagery. The Estonian writer explores the patterns that shape our behavior and guide our lives and relationships. Her characters long for true love—some are battered by fate yet never give up the search, while others discover their treasure only to face the question of how to hold on to newfound happiness. Ehin’s stories, rich in allegory, are written with a feel for absurdity and gentle surrealism—like modern fairy tales where every other sentence may take an unexpected turn.
