Core of the Sun by Johanna Sinisalo: FINLAND!

My full review is over on Goodreads but I did want to do some reviewing here as well. Guys, this was so freaking good and terrifying. Like literal chills of what can happen on a slippery slope when you start limiting things by traditional gender roles and expectations. Doing some internet research on this book I turned up some interesting facts, like apparently Finland has a really thriving science and speculative fiction market known as Finnish Weird. This was published three years ago in Finland and only just made it to the US almost exactly one year ago in January 2016.

Hello, I'm RanaElizabeth

Litsy Name: RanaElizabeth
Goodreads Name: RanaElizabeth

I'm a late 30's something woman who duh, loves to read. I currently live in St. Paul, Minnesota but have bounced around in the decade and half (Portland, Philadelphia, and way back Pittsburgh for school). I am so freaking excited about this book reading challenge, it's something I've always wanted to do. I try to intentionally seek out translated works or books with international settings so this is right in my wheelhouse. Here's looking forward to learning about new cultures!
