pickIt takes some time to get used to the relationship between two artists, Mari and Jonna (mainly because of the sparsity of words Jansson uses) but when I did, I loved it. They have lived and worked together for so long, and are not always loving towards eachother and yet they are - so very much.
Nature, art, aging, jealousy, repetitiveness, death: each story touches upon subjects that add to their joint journey. Together apart. Or apart together.
BarbaraBB #FairPlayBR21 With just 93 pages this wasn‘t much of a buddyread. I finished the book in a few hours 🤷🏻♀️ (edited) 4y

BarbaraBB Thank you @Suet624 🤍 that means a lot since it is not easy for me to express myself in English. I am always doubting my vocabulary and grammar. 4y
