Beautifully descriptive vignettes of summer time on an island. While Sophia drove me crazy with her frequent crying and protestations, this shows a loving bond between grandmother and granddaughter. A nice escape and perfect for #MidsummerSolace #Naturalitsy #LitSolace #192025 #1972
This book is a balm for the soul. Calm, quiet, relaxing, filled with love. It was a perfect choice for #Naturalitsy #MidsummerSolace , as it really did provide solace for me in these stressful times. Escapism at its best. @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit #LitSolace

It was a pleasure to drop into the #MidsummerSolace reading with this beautiful little book. A collection of vignettes about summer on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland, it was so charming in its evocative physical details. Weather and nature felt vivid, especially a spectacular and terrifying summer storm. Of course the real star of the show are the relationships between Sophia, her grandmother, and her often-absent father. Lovely all around.

The plan is to go to the laundromat 🧺 this morning. We go super early (it‘s 5:30 am and we‘ll be packing the van 🚐 soon) so to avoid the crowds.
Later we might go swimming. 🏊♂️ Even later we‘ll definitely listen to the Dodgers game. ⚾️ Throughout I‘ll read a bit and I should work on my blanket (crochet). 🧶
Edited to add: Yikes, it‘s Saturday. Protest. We are going to the protest. 🪧
