Reader reviews: "Savoring Seasons wonderfully captures everything that defines Finland and being Finnish, including sauna, nature, and traditional foods. It even manages to make the harshest seasons feel nostalgically positive. Not only did I find the content captivating, but I also appreciated the writing itself, which is graceful, fluid, and above all, poetic—completely drawing the reader in. I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience." - Ritva Parviainen / A Finnish Author living in Mozambique *** "The poems are simply delightful, filled with both sensitivity and playfulness. There’s a clever, thought-provoking twist to them, and such genuine beauty that it felt like receiving a gift reading them. I especially enjoyed the poem “Seize the May”, and the poem about sauna is incredibly comforting and profound. I also appreciated how summer and the birch tree are personified as a warm, feminine energy. Reunion wraps up the collection beautifully, like a final brushstroke." - Annika Eräpuro / A Finnish children's and young adult author and professional translator Description: Savoring Seasons is a small collection of poems, reflections, and recipes, offering readers a taste—an aperitif—of the Finnish mindset. What is it like to feel the joy of the first spring blossoms while simultaneously embracing the idea of darkness lurking just a few calendar pages away? Balance is everything, and fortunately, even the most melancholic, short winter days can be brightened with a dash of sarcasm and comforting treats, served alongside several cups of coffee.
