It makes me so delighted when institutes like libraries arrange interesting free events. So needless to say how pleased I was with Töölö library hosting an event with Finnish (Swedish speaking) author Märta Tikkanen around topic Impossible love.
Märta Tikkanen's books are mostly telling about women's status in society and the best known are The Love Story Of The Century (Vuosisadan rakkaustarina) and Man Cannot Be Raped (Miestä ei voi raiskata).
One got to admire her drive and energy as she has been touring in Scandinavia ever since the latest book Emma and Uno was published in 2010.She told fascinating stories of her childhood as well as her family's history since the theme of the latest book tells about her Grandparents and the love relation between them. Märta compared this big love story to her own with the author Henrik Tikkanen. Besides Emma and Uno she also read captions of her books Two (Kaksi) and Little Red Riding Hood (Punahilkka).
I cannot wait to start reading Emma and Uno!
