I LOVE this book! Very thorough in detail, it was recommended by my Finnish Family to read. I was reluctant to start it, but when I did, I was pleasantly surprised at the flow of events but the detail of Finnish history. I felt like I was right beside the author the entire time, the trials and triumphs each time. I struggled to put the book down at night! I cannot wait to find the author’s other books and read them. Kiittos!!
