KoukuttavaSurullinenViisasSydäntälämmittäväIn the tender age of about 16, the Finnish translation was my absolute favourite book. Now, as an adult, the story still holds. This is a wonderful, insightful and never a sentimental coming of age narrative of an entire generation of young men who were forced to go to the war, told through the stories of two childhood friends.
