In The Summer Book Tove Jansson distills the essence of the summer—its sunlight and storms—into twenty-two crystalline vignettes. This brief novel tells the story of Sophia, a six-year-old girl awakening to existence, and Sophia’s grandmother, nearing the end of hers, as they spend the summer on a tiny unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. The grandmother is unsentimental and wise, if a little cranky; Sophia is impetuous and volatile, but she tends to her grandmother with the care of a new parent. Together they amble over coastline and forest in easy companionship, build boats from bark, create a miniature Venice, write a fanciful study of local bugs. They discuss things that matter to young and old alike: life, death, the nature of God and of love. “On an island,” thinks the grandmother, “everything is complete.” In The Summer Book , Jansson creates her own complete world, full of the varied joys and sorrows of life.
Tove Jansson, whose Moomintroll comic strip and books brought her international acclaim, lived for much of her life on an island like the one described in The Summer Book , and the work can be enjoyed as her closely observed journal of the sounds, sights, and feel of a summer spent in intimate contact with the natural world.
The Summer Book is translated from the Swedish by Thomas Teal.

在六月的夏威夷看完瞭這本書。景色描寫細膩有畫麵感。可是這個野孩子讓我分分鍾go crazy.
评分上半年從學校圖書館藉的英文原版讀的，最浮躁的時期每天一點時間一字一句讀下來漸漸地心變的特彆平靜。後來在紀錄片裏看到瞭 Tove Jansson 生活過的這個小島的原型，變的特彆想去芬蘭看一看。" It was just the same long summer,always,and everything lived and grew at its own pace."
评分在鼕天最冷的時候讀夏天的書，有種獨特的寜靜，沉沒在北歐的荒僻之中。以前不喜歡景物描寫，現在越來越愛關於四季風物的文字，讀起來很清淡，很確幸。

评分原來是一本老書啊，難怪紐約書評作為classic推薦的
