Now when I have again time to read I have visited in library:
  • Anu Holopainen's newest "Varjoja" (Shadows). It's sequel to her feminist fantasy series "Autumnland". It's, like all Holopainen's books, available only in Finnish.
  • Marja-Leena Tiainen's "Kahden maailman tyttö" (Girl of two world). It tells about Tara, 17 year-old immigrantgirl, how have to run away to a reformatory. This book is available only in Finnish, but some of her other novels are traslated to Swedish, Danish, Estonian and Lithuanian.
  • First part of the Väinö Linna's trilogy "Under the North Star". This important Finnish trilogy follows the life of a cotter family. It has translated to Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Hungarian, Russian, Estonian, French, Czech, Turkish, Croatian, Polish, Bulgarian, Chinese and English.
