The Finnish Girl: Can You Be Too Young for Love? — Helena Halme

Can you be too young to fall in love? At the age of fourteen, Kaisa is the new girl in town again. When Kaisa's divorced mother moves with her teenage daughters to an island suburb of Helsinki, Kaisa meets a serious boy called Matti. At 21, Matti is seven years older than Kaisa, but he is infatuated with her pale blue eyes and innocence. Matti makes careful plans to seduce Kaisa on Midsummer's Eve, but is she too young to fall in love? A standalone read, The Finnish Girl is a prequel to the popular 1980s romance The Englishman. Praise for The Englishman: "The Englishman is quite the page-turner. I had difficulty stopping myself from devouring it in one go. All the small details about Finland and Sweden give the book such colour, and I love seeing England through Kaisa's eyes Highly recommended " - Tania Hershman, author.
