Description

Tove Jansson's Notes from an Island is a poignant and meditative work that chronicles her life on a remote island in the Gulf of Finland. For thirty summers, she shared the island with her partner Tuulikki Pietila, where they found solace in solitude and the ever-changing seascapes. The book combines Tove's spare prose with Tuulikki's subtle washes and aquatints to create a work of beauty that celebrates their mature love for each other and their surroundings. The result is a deeply personal and introspective account of life on the island, where time seems to stand still. This English translation of Notes from an Island offers a unique glimpse into Tove Jansson's inner world, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
