\n\tJohanson\u2019s debut novel L\u00e4bik\u00e4idavad toad<\/em> (\u2018Walk-through Rooms\u2019, 2015) belongs to the genre of memoir prose. The novel attempts to understand and interpret the labyrinth of 20th-century Estonian history from the viewpoint of one family.

\n\tThe action of her second novel Atlantis abajas<\/em> (\u2018Atlantis in a Cove\u2019) is set at the present time and concentrates on psychological types who are both attractive and frightening.

\n\tJohanson\u2019s fourth book Ta tuleb<\/em> (\u2018It\u2019s Coming\u2019) includes ten short stories the common theme of which is death. Despite the sombre main theme, it is an optimistic book which contains a fair amount of humour and intelligent self-irony.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
