What Members Thought
An ordinary story, too precious actually, but since it's Finnish, it's interesting enough. A family, lots of characters whose names begin with E, their lives in the present day and flashbacks to the 1960s. Parallel themes of mother/daughter, parent/child, art, image, betrayal, loss, dreams, reality, truth... It starts out nicely but it's uneven. There's a character, Maria, who's completely superfluous. But I would like to try a cardamom roll. And the cover sure is pretty.
