As the two learn to adjust to each other's fears, whims and yearnings, a fierce yet understated love emerges - one that encompasses not only the summer inhabitants but the very island itself. Written in a clear, unsentimental style, full of brusque humour, and wisdom, \"The Summer Book\" is a profoundly life-affirming story. Tove Jansson captured much of her own life and spirit in the book, which was her favourite of her adult novels. This new edition, with a Foreword by Esther Freud, sees the return of a European literary gem - fresh, authentic and deeply humane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892606664992,"sku":"NEW0954221710","price":22.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81mgcfnspbL.jpg?v=1781987721","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-summer-book-0954221710","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
