The Year of the Hare by Arto PaasilinnaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Cute, charming, refreshing. That's pretty much how I would describe it. It isn't earth shattering, but definitely a fresh take on life through the eyes of a man who just decides to change, upon seeing a hare. And as I write that, I'm wondering if there are any parallels with Alice seeing the white rabbit, or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Anyway, I'm trying to think of another book where a seemingly innocuous event sets in motion an entire book. None comes to mind right now (maybe "Remembrance of things past", although I've never read it, so who knows?), but anyway, this is that sort of book.
My first Finnish work of fiction. I'd like to read more.
