Emme enää usko pahaan

Eero Viitanen runs a paintball business and lives in a house by the sea with his wife Aino and their two daughters. All is well, but the story is too everyday. To add some excitement he decides to abduct Aino, as Zeus once carried off Europa, and asks his old friend Lari for help. Aino works at a hostel for people with addiction and mental-health problems, where one young resident has got into trouble. Worlds that grew apart in a divided Finland collide, and Eero’s old-fashioned bride-theft story begins to play itself out on its own terms. The novel looks at the power of stories and at a liberal culture that has forgotten its traditions and stands helpless before evil.
