The True Deceiver
Jansson absolutely deserves to be known for more than her Moomins kids’ books. There is both a starkness and a sense of generosity at the heart of her adult novels. This one, the seasonal opposite of the wonderful Summer Book, explores small-town interactions and what happens when illusions clash, as the uncompromising Katri interjects herself and her brother into the life of elderly Anna Aemelin. Here’s hoping there are more English reissues of Jansson’s books soon!
