Journal Entry 1 by aava from Jyväskylä, Keski-Suomi / Mellersta Finland Finland on Saturday, October 30, 2021
I read this book quite slowly. I wanted to enjoy the language and the strange, yet beautiful atmosphere this book had. Then of course there was the house itself, the main character of the book, Birchwood.

It is of course a story about a family, very dysfunctional family, of love and losses. It is also a story of country and the great suffering.

Somehow I felt this little book was really haunting and I feel it will stay on my mind for a long time.
