"She [Keija Parssinen] directs the human and historical traffic with a maestro's sense of pace, and a true storyteller's sense of consequence."
      Scott Spencer, author of Man in the Woods and Endless Love

"The Ruins of Us is an arresting story of family and country. Parssinen's characters are richly conceived and her evocative petrol universe of wealth, privilege, and intrigue is unforgettable. Powerful storytelling that is refreshing and entertaining."
      Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead
