Hmmmm I have a hard time reviewing this book, as I can see its worth and potential, but it somehow didn't really work for me. I'm glad I got a glimpse into the Tove Jansson universe and it was a unique experience to me to look into a little girl's mind and see what summer on a nordic island in childhood means but it didn't really grip me or made me dream.
