Summer Fishing in Lapland (Paperback)

Immediately enticing, endlessly charming, full of wit, magic and deep, moving humanity. It transported me to a world both familiar and utterly unknown, keeping me enthralled on every page Full of natural wonders [and a] wonderfully zany energy Wonderful weirdness... Manages to make both Lapland and its inhabitants seem both unutterably enchanting and utterly bonkers Spiced with multiple storylines and all kinds of mythical creatures, this rich novel is a delight I feel like giving him 6 stars out of 5 - and this is exactly what I will do. Juhani Karila stretches the limits and borders of the world so wildly, that it seems only right for this literature critic to do the same A fix of love story and thriller, realism and fantasy, folk comedy and all sorts of popular beliefs sufficient to cure the worst case of humourlessness Karila's imagination is beyond words! The story is wild, absurd and crazy funny, written in a brilliant language and charged with a great sense of humour
