His second novel "Jasper Jones" is likened to Twain, Lee and Capote and he says Australia lends itself to the Southern gothic style of writing.

Yes Sofi Oksanen is quite a new author. She won Finlandia prize something which is considered as the finest literature award in Finland. Her books are best-sellers and they have been translated into English. She was born in 1977 like me. Her book When Doves Disappeared is dramatic. She is a feminist and a strong defender of women's rights. She writes about issues such as forced prostitution in Baltic countries in Estonia during the Soviet Union era. Although her books are fictional their roots are in contemporary history.
