"As counterweight to the weird and eerie elements in many of the books I have selected I propose the sweet and kind Summer Book. Tove Jansson’s fictionalized memoir about the summers she spent as a girl with her grandmother on a tiny island in the archipelago off Finland’s south coast is a wonderful ode to the curiosity of childhood and the wisdom of old age. In a precise, lyrical language that never gives in to easy sentiments Jansson allows us to take part in the summer days with the girl and the grandmother as one is discovering nature for the first time and the other is contemplating its vulnerability. It is sunshine in the shape of a book — for the shadowy part of Jansson’s oeuvre one must look to her children stories about the Moomins."

In this short novella, we meet Eloise, an Amber Druid having issues with her employer, and Baron, a 'normal' human albeit a rich, successful one. They have skirted around each other for the past year, wanting to know more about the other, but circumstances being unwilling to help. So when they do meet, you know that it will move fast and burn hot.
 
This is very well written, with a fast and exciting pace, that will leave you wanting to know more about their story and the Amber Druids overall. Definitely recommended by me.
