Review: The Summer Book

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an exceptional novel. I don't what people who have never seen a cold northern sea make of it. For me the book is so special. It makes me very sad and impossibly nostalgic. It makes me light and curious. It fills me with the need to come back to the world of granite, water, midnight sunlight, and life. It makes me restless, filled with desire to travel, to see, to touch. It makes me wiser.
