2.0

There is something so comforting, nostalgic, and cosy about the Moomin books - I enjoyed the memoir style of this one, and it's gratifying to read a short novel, with such a fast pace in amongst some more challenging reads on my list. Nevertheless, there is still something quietly profound about the themes, plot, and characters that Jansson weaves throughout her novels.
