I want to thank #foodandlit2024 for encouraging me to choose a book from Finland. One of my best friends growing up had a Finnish dad and a Swedish mum and I was exposed to all of the best things from each culture and continue to love Scandi style above all others. This novel is a love letter to summer and Finland told in short vignettes that flip back and forth through the main character‘s , Sophia, childhood summers with her grandma and father.

mcctrish I spent most of my summers on the shores of Lake Winnipeg with my maternal grandparents and my mom ( my dad was there part of the summer) and while not nearly as isolated as island living, the floating timelessness of my days are so much like the ones in this story. There is no way kids now could ever experience this natural summer childhood and that‘s such a loss (edited) 3w

mcctrish @Susanita absolutely they were, so many memories were stirred up with this book; my chores, the routines/traditions and all the time when I was just off on my own or with friends walking, bike riding and at the beach 😱with no supervision 3w

#foodandlit for December is Finland not sweden 🤦🏻‍♀️ and I‘ve started this to close out the year with because I knew that when I went looking for books to read! my husband‘s family is from Sweden and we go to a Swedish fair in Toronto every year to stock up in Swedish treats for Christmas- these Polly candies were new to us. They taste like a cross between a rum ball and a milk dud. I will do better with food choices going forward

I loved this one. It was so sweet, and lighthearted. A nice little break from the high fantasy I‘ve been reading lately. 5 🌟
