Book Synopsis
For thirty summers Tove and her partner, the graphic artist, Tuulikki Pietilä, retreated to the tiny island of Klovharun, a rocky outcrop in the gulf of Finland, where they would live, paint and write, energised by the shifting seascapes and the island''s austere charms. Notes from an Island, offers both a memoir of, and homage to, this beloved island home. Tove''s spare prose, and Tuulikki''s subtle washes and aquatints, combine to form a work of meditative beauty.This edition includes the first UK publication of Tove''s acclaimed 1961 essay/prose poem, The Island.
