'[The letters] cover war, fame and her first infatuation with
another woman...all related in a voice that is funny, gracious,
intimate' The Observer "I find myself talking to you about all the
great joys, all the agonies, all my thoughts..." - Letter to Eva
Konikova, 1946 Out of the thousands of letters Tove Jansson wrote a
cache remains that she addressed to her family, her dearest
confidantes, and her lovers, male and female. Into these she
spilled her innermost thoughts, defended her ideals and revealed
her heart. To read these letters is both an act of startling
intimacy and a rare privilege. Penned with grace and humour,
Letters from Tove offers an almost seamless commentary on Tove
Jansson's life as it unfolds within Helsinki's bohemian circles and
her island home. Spanning fifty years between her art studies and
the height of Moomin fame, we share with her the bleakness of war;
the hopes for love that were dashed and renewed, and her determined
attempts to establish herself as an artist. Vivid, inspiring and
shining with integrity, Letters from Tove shows precisely how an
aspiring and courageous young artist can evolve into a very great
one.
