The Summer Book (Tove Jansson)

Kaylan

“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.”

Emily Weber

“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.”

General Store

“A sweet, small book. Writing was lovely and quiet, felt like a nice dream. I bet I’ll read this every August when the first whispers of autumn can be heard.”
