The Summer BookThe Summer Book

Nine-year-old Sophia spends the summers at her family's seasonal home on a tranquil isle in the Gulf of Finland, but this will be the first summer without her mother. Her father remains numbed by grief, while her grandmother guides her on a giddy, winding path towards young adulthood. With a sense of infinite possibility and a tender regard for the wonders of the natural world, Sophia and her grandmother explore the terrain, celebrate midsommar, and test the limits of faith on the face of life's many storms.
