darumachan 's review for:

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson
3.5
emotional lighthearted relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

I appreciated how the setting played such a central role in these vignettes. The focus on childhood and the beauty of small moments put me in mind of chapter-book children's stories like the Penderwicks and Anne of Green Gables.
