Nordic Book Club
Saturday, June 6, 10 am
We’re gathering again for Nordic Book Club on Saturday, June 6th to discuss The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. This month’s activity is a “Page to Screen” as we have a brief discussion of the book and then watch the 2024 film adaptation together. As always, there will be plenty of coffee and Scandinavian snacks to share. All are welcome. Come for the book, stay for the community. We can’t wait to see you there!
Book description: An artist and her six-year-old granddaughter spend a summer on a small island in the Gulf of Finland, gradually learning to understand each other’s fears, quirks, and desire for independence.
Author Tove Jansson, whose Moomintroll comic strip and books brought her international acclaim, lived 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.
