Bechi
Bechi är en omskakande romandebut av Koko Hubara som med essäsamlingen Bruna flickor blivit en av de tongivande finländska berättarna i sin generation. Bechi är en berättelse om den konfliktfyllda men oumbärliga relationen mellan mödrar och döttrar. Bechi är en trettioårig kvinna i Helsingfors som försöker slutföra sin avhandling. Hennes mamma Shoshana lämnade sin jemenitiska judiska släkt utan att se sig om, träffade en finsk man och slog igenom som författare med en självbiografisk roman. När Bechi berättar för sin mamma att hon är gravid dras spänningar från flera årtionden fram i dagsljuset. Är det oundvikligt att förstöra för sitt barn? Varför minns man olika saker? Och vilka händelser vill man helst bara glömma?
