TOVE JANSSON
An elderly artist and her six-year-old grand-daughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland. 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.

This is a book that I read years ago and re-read often. As one of the reviewers said
"This is a wonderful, life-affirming, spirited book. Reading it was a tonic."
