A beautifully written series of stories about Hilja Nast's memories of growing up in Finland during WW II. Delightful and moving. I recommend it to everyone.

A well written account of the life of a young girl growing up in Finland during the war. She writes with an artist's touch as she tells of the tragic death of her mother and the lasting impact it had on her life. She remains positive in her outlook on people and life as she seeks some comfort in a grim world. Her tale of a visit to a Finnish POW camp for Russian soldiers is both humorous and touching. This book is enjoyable for its clarity of writing and its humor as well as its most touching moments.
