X-WR-CALDESC:The Summer Book distills the essence of the summer—its sunligh
 t and storms—into twenty-two crystalline vignettes. This brief novel tells
  the story of Sophia\, a six-year-old girl awakening to existence\, and So
 phia’s grandmother\, nearing the end of hers\, as they spend the summer on
  a tiny unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. The grandmother is unsent
 imental and wise\, if a little cranky\; Sophia is impetuous and volatile\,
  but she tends to her grandmother with the care of a new parent. Together 
 they amble over coastline and forest in easy companionship\, build boats f
 rom bark\, create a miniature Venice\, write a fanciful study of local bug
 s. They discuss things that matter to young and old alike: life\, death\, 
 the nature of God and of love. “On an island\,” thinks the grandmother\, “
 everything is complete.” In The Summer Book\, Jansson creates her own comp
 lete world\, full of the varied joys and sorrows of life.\n\nJansson 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 natura
 l world. \n
