It's a long book, but obviously it's not intended to be read at a sitting, or even straight through. I could tell you that you could dip in and out, or just read one letter at a time…but believe me, you won't want to. You will long for Tove's next letter, just as she often longed for letters from her friends and lovers. They are an insight into a person, but also into a time, and a place…albeit the time spans 50 years and the 'place' ranges from Helsinki to Stockholm to Paris and beyond, but is most captivating when she's on one of her beloved islands.
If you haven't come across Tove Jansson, start with [[The Summer Book by Tove Jansson|The Summer Book]] – not yet reviewed on thebookbag.co.uk (we'll correct that as soon as possible). In the meantime Bookbag can definitely recommend all of those listed here [[:Category:Tove Jansson|Tove Janssonhere]].
