Return to Kalevala

About the Book

No legends of approaching hardship ever hinted at this disaster, a remorseless summer frost starving the land and stealing even the sun’s warmth. Now Surikki takes it upon himself to set the whole world aright—so accustomed to failure, here at least he can fail at something monumental. Lost among people he cannot understand, he understands himself even less. But most confusing of all are the forces that offer either to restore his blighted life or end it.

“RETURN TO KALEVALA... a long march to our own funeral.”
