This book (?) is just vibes with no plot and exquisite writing (some of the paragraphs are so !) The Crooks, Playing Venice, Sophie’s Storm, and Magic Forest are probably my favorite chapters. I just love how real the relationship between Sophie and her grandmother feels, and the nature, ah to crawl in a forest and sleep in the never-setting sun

A pleasurable read by the creator of Moomin. Vignettes of growing up and life with grandparents. I can understand why it's so beloved.
