sarahsternberg 's review for:
The Summer Book
by Tove Jansson
How could I not love everything the Moomin lady writes?!
The best way I can describe The Summer Book is imagine if you had a children's picture book, but without the pictures. There's a playful, childish quality to these vignettes that I just kept coming back to. With that said, this definitely isn't a book to devour in one sitting. Instead, each episode is like a postcard to be savoured, gazed upon and admired.
I don't read a lot of Scandinavian lit, but this was just dreamy and I want moooooore
