poignant and intimate, Sep 8 2010
This review is from: The True Deceiver (Paperback)
I found this book poignant, an excellent book that inspires self -reflection. Great for curling up in bed in the cold of winter and reading one small chapter per evening. Tove Jansson once again creates characters that reflect many people's positive and negative characteristics..... she has an excellent eye for truthful perspective. Anyone that has lived in a small town will relate to this book.

How to influence people, but not necessarily make friends, Feb 23 2011
This review is from: The True Deceiver (Paperback)
A book for savouring. I didn't want it to end, ever. I read it long enough ago that I've lost some of the details but every once in a while a person in the real world will do or say something which reminds me of another person -- yes, person -- in The True Deceiver. Interestingly, I lent it to a friend who loathed it but admitted she couldn't stop reading it. So, I read it again. This process told me much about my friend and even more about me.
