Book Description
Celebrating 50 years of Tove Jansson's classic, bestselling novel Featured in the BBC 2 Between the Covers Bookclub Special (Eurovision series 2023) 'Distils the essence of summer' Robert Macfarlane 'Magical, life-affirming' Elizabeth Gilbert The Worldwide Classic about a tiny island and larger love. 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. 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. With a foreword by Esther Freud and an afterword by Sophia Jansson (on whom the child 'Sophia' is based) who returns to the island during the pandemic at the point of becoming a grandmother herself. Includes a 15pp epilogue by Tove's niece Sophia Jansson - the inspiration for 'Sophia' - on a personal and moving return to the island. 'Eccentric, funny, wise, full of joys and small adventures. This is a book for life.' Esther Freud 'Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny.' Philip Pullman

The Ideal Sponger Life: Volume 6
Author: Tsunehiko Watanabe
Publisher: J-Novel Club
ISBN: 1718364121
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
With a new year come new beginnings. In this case, that new beginning is in General Pujol’s love life. The man’s petition to marry the eldest daughter of the Gaziel family has arrived on Aura’s desk. Ordinarily, such a petition would be summarily refused—a marriage between the central and provincial nobles runs too great a risk of destabilizing the power of the royal family. However, Aura’s culpability for the general’s bachelorhood means that she cannot dismiss the request so easily. This presents other problems: at least one royal will need to attend, which means Zenjirou will be leaving home once again due to the general’s insistence on holding the ceremony in the border march. At the same time, Freya has arrived, and when she hears of the wedding, she asks to attend as Zenjirou’s partner. Such an arrangement usually indicates romance between the pair, so her suggestion is effectively a marriage proposal. How will Zenjirou respond?! And what will come of his relationship with Aura?!
