The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

Sophia is six. Her grandmother is very old. They spend the summer on an island in the Gulf of Finland that can be walked around in ten minutes, and Sophia's mother has recently died, which is mentioned once and never again.

The chapters are short and self-contained: building a Venice out of a marsh pool, breaking into a neighbour's new house out of principle, an argument about God, a cat who does not love anyone. Jansson wrote it after her own mother's death, and the grandmother's crankiness and physical frailty are exact.

By the creator of the Moomins. One of the most perfect short novels of the twentieth century.
