This month we'll be reading Summer Fishing in Lapland by Juhani Karila - read on for the synopsis:
When Elina makes her annual summer pilgrimage to her remote family farm in Lapland, she has three days to catch the pike in a local pond, or she and the love of her life will both die. This year her task is made even more difficult by the intervention of a host of deadly supernatural creatures and a murder detective on her tail.
Can Elina catch the pike and put to rest the curse that has been hanging over her head ever since a youthful love affair turned sour? Can Sergeant Janatuinen make it back to civilisation in one piece? And just why is Lapland in summer so weird?
A brilliantly weird literary fantasy set in a Lapland filled with mythical creatures - Summer Fishing in Lapland is an audacious, genre-defying blend of fantasy, folk tale and nature writing.
