Tove Jansson's most personal book and a homage by two artists to the island they
loved.
In her late-forties, Tove Jansson, helped by a maverick seaman called Brunström,
raced to build a cabin on an almost barren outcrop of rock in the Gulf of
Finland. The island was Klovharun, and for twenty-six summers Tove and her life
partner, the graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä, retreated there to live, paint and
write, energised by the solitude and shifting seascapes.
Notes from an Island, published in English for the first time, is both a memoir
and homage to the island the two women loved intensely and relinquished only
when pressed by age. It is also a unique collaboration between two artists.
Tove's spare, precise prose - diary entries, vignettes and extracts from
Brunström's log - frame the subtle washes and aquatints created by Tuulikki.
Together they form a work of meditative beauty.
