Description
Tove Jansson and her partner Tuulikki Pietilä spent thirty summers in a cabin on Klovharun, an island off the coast of Finland. In 1963, they built their home amidst autumn's bitter winds, seeking inspiration from the shifting seascapes and rugged rocky landscape. The island's austere charm energized them to paint, write, and live together. Their retreat was a place of solitude and creativity, where they found solace in each other's company and the beauty of nature. This book is a personal account of their time on Klovharun, offering a glimpse into the lives of two remarkable women who found love, inspiration, and a sense of belonging in this remote corner of Finland.
