The Carnival Mirrors

by Johanna Laakso

The past has caught up with Aleksandra Kaminskaiya. A long time ago, she ran, and now she finds herself locked up in the basement of the West Coast chapter. Accused of treason, she risks the ultimate punishment: to spend eternity in an unmarked grave. Given time to reflect upon her life, and the mistakes of her youth, the only thing getting Aleksandra through the nights is the company of her prison guard, Hemingway Forsberg, a woman stirring emotions long suppressed...

Covering more than a century, and set both in Russia and in Sweden, The Carnival Mirrors portrays the psychological, political, and religious complications of belonging to a controversial minority.
Part love story, part biography, and all analogy, this horror tale digs deeply into the hard questions every lesbian must face.
