Pickpick

It takes some time to get used to the relationship between two artists, Mari and Jonna (mainly because of the sparsity of words Jansson uses) but when I did, I loved it. They have lived and worked together for so long, and are not always loving towards eachother and yet they are - so very much.
Nature, art, aging, jealousy, repetitiveness, death: each story touches upon subjects that add to their joint journey. Together apart. Or apart together.

BarbaraBB #FairPlayBR21 With just 93 pages this wasn‘t much of a buddyread. I finished the book in a few hours 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 4y
vivastory Great review!! For some reason I didn't realize it was so slim. Today and tomorrow are going to be busy work wise. Will definitely be reading it Wednesday! 4y

BarbaraBB @Suet624 It gets better by each story because you start to know them. 4y
Suet624 I just reread your review. What a wonderful description of this book. 4y
BarbaraBB Thank you @Suet624 🤍 that means a lot since it is not easy for me to express myself in English. I am always doubting my vocabulary and grammar. 4y
Suet624 Barbara, I never realized English wasn't your first language. (Obviously a blindspot for me!) Your reviews are brilliant and you have such a great way with words. 4y
BarbaraBB @Suet624 You‘re too kind 😊😘 4y

I thought Jonna was pretty annoying up until this point. If this isn‘t love, what is?
