About this book
On a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland, a six-year-old girl and her elderly grandmother spend a summer building miniature landscapes, arguing about God, trespassing in a neighbour's house and negotiating grief that neither names directly. The chapters work as self-contained episodes, each a small comic or tender incident observed with Jansson's precise, unsentimental eye. Wind, moss, boats and weather are rendered so vividly that the island becomes a place you can smell. Quiet, funny and quietly profound, it offers natural stopping points and a deep sense of peace between its pages.
