👋 Our acclaimed author Tiina Laitila Kälvemark says hello. Her densely atmospheric and gripping fifth novel THE SHADOW SONATA (Valon ja pimeän sonaatit, WSOY 2023) has been published recently - we will share some lovely readers' feedback later this week. 🤩
🎹 In the summer of 1993, a thirteen-year-old schoolboy, Mikael Helenius, is kidnapped. Ten months later he is found alive, an empty drink bottle containing an adder clutched under his arm. The media goes into a frenzy over the so-called Snake Boy case, but Mikael has lost the ability to talk, parsing his thoughts and emotions through playing piano while the details of his abduction remain a question mark
🎼 Moving in the structure of a sonata, from allegro to rondo, Tiina Laitila Kälvemark's elegant prose builds a propulsive and beautiful story about a crime with far-reaching consequences, the power of music, and a rare friendship that emerges from it.
