What Members Thought
What a beautiful book. I want to go live on an island now.
Beautiful prose, beautiful descriptions of nature, wonderful depiction of the relationship between a grandmom and her granddaughter. Will definitely read again. Highly recommended.
Give me all the Tove Jansson now, please.
MY VERDICT:
A spellbinding intergenerational journey, where wisdom and wonder collide, navigating grief through enchanting nature adventures seasoned with humor.
