The Summer Book

Recommended by Chris B

Oh my: what a gift of a book. Each chapter stands alone, yet connects. A remote, northern island - intertwined lives - nothing, yet everything, happens. Life is about the small moments with the important people in your sphere. This novella captures this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summer_Book

“I can’t believe it took me so long to find this delightful book, which like “A Year in Provence” provides pleasurable little slices one can dive into repeated summers and still savor.”

“This is my favorite book of all time. I try to read it every summer. Tove writes funny, sad, poignant, to-the-point stories of a granddaughter and grandmother spending their days together on a remote island in the Gulf of Finland.”
