Urve Tamberg Book Signing in Montreal

Book signing at Babar En Ville

Saturday, October 27, 2012 – 2:00-4:00 p.m.

1235 Greene Avenue

Westmount

 

Urve Tamberg writes historical fiction for teens. Her first novel is The Darkest Corner of the World.

In 1941, Estonia is under the iron rule of the Soviet Union. Fifteen-year-old Madli is struggling to understand why she can’t raise her country’s flag, why soldiers are waiting at every corner, and why her father was taken away in the middle of the night. Her annual vacation to Hiiumaa Island for the Midsummer celebration is the one thing she has to look forward to.

But in the midst of the celebrations, the Nazis invade the Soviet Union, and are on a path that will take them through Estonia. When Madli hears about a band of forest-dwelling freedom fighters determined to overthrow the Soviets at any cost, she is forced to decide whether she’d rather live under the evil regime she knows, or help another evil regime in hopes her father will be freed and her nation’s story heard.
