'A Finnish masterpiece of autofiction. a dreamy, complex and therefore so very human portrait of the formation of a great artist' Financial Times. A riveting, funny coming-of-age story: the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy. Teenaged Pirkko can't decide which she hates most: God, her communist father, or her growing breasts. Grandpa has moved into the room long promised to her, and Mother, overworked and distant, tries to keep the peace between her headstrong daughter and husband. It's 1960s Finland and Pirkko has fun getting into trouble. That is, until her teacher suggests she might have what it takes to be a real writer. Then the historic summer of 1968 arrives, which Pirkko spends working at a Swiss orphanage where no one understands her and, as much as her family drive her mad, she's homesick for the first time. As the world shifts and swirls around her, Pirkko must make sense of it all - including her own sexual identity. A funny, unique coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of a life lived in language, Backlight. is the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.
