A review by nadyaduck
The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

5.0

Beautifully simple and atmospheric. One of those books that leaves me with that bittersweet feeling of nostalgia. I was recommended this when I mentioned to someone that I much prefer a book with no plot that is wonderfully written to a book packed with action but no substance - and here we are! I felt that I could see, smell, hear and feel the island that small family were on, and I miss Sophia and her grandmother already.
