"So what can happen when Tove Jansson turns her attention to her
own favourite subjects, love and work, in the form of this novel
about two women, lifelong partners and friends? Expect something
philosophically calm - and discreetly radical. Its publication is
cause for huge celebration."(Ali Smith, from her Introduction to
Fair Play) What mattered most to Tove Jansson, she explained in her
eighties, was work and love, a sentiment she echoes in this tender
and original novel. Translated for the first time into English,
Fair Play portrays a love between two older women, a writer and
artist, as they work side-by-side in their Helsinki studios, travel
together and share summers on a remote island. In the generosity
and respect they show each other and the many small shifts they
make to accommodate each other's creativity we are shown a
relationship both heartening and truly progressive.
