Moomin on the Riviera by Tove Jansson

There is... a lot to unpack in this.

My partner was quite insistent it was a lovely story, despite my questionable look over Moomin-Papa going through a glass window as a sort-of-end-paper at the start. On completion, when I again looked at him with the same expression, he told me it was the same good vibes he got from digesting Simon Hanselmann’s work... We have very different descriptions when it comes to vibes, clearly!

I’m going to be sitting up all night now anxious over the naivety regarding hotel bills, some of the gender comments, the excellent commentary on wealth and privilege... I’ve honestly come out of this ‘lovely’ experience incredibly stressed by the explored themes - which is a compliment to the effectiveness of said exploration!
