There’s something for everyone in FILI’s book picks — each recommendation falls into one of three categories: fiction, non-fiction and children & young adult.
If you’re into fiction, you might be interested in Linnea Kuuluvainen’s The Thick of the Forest, set in a forested area of Turku in southwestern Finland. The novel is about nature and two women’s intertwined fates.
The non-fiction recommendations include books such as Sanna Marin, Lauri Nurmi’s biography of the former Finnish prime minister, and Tiina Raevaara’s entertaining and enlightening Me, My Dog and Humanity.
For children and youngsters, the suggestions include Aino Havukainen and Sami Toivonen’s newest book about the characters Tatu and Patu, Ready, Steady, Go!, along with Sanna Isto’s The Invisibles, the thrilling story of an unusual summer break.
