Notes :
The Summer Book (Swedish: Sommarboken) is a novel written by the Finland-Swedish author Tove Jansson in 1972. It tells of a family silently mourning a mother's death while spending a summer on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland; the main characters are a young girl, Sophia, and her grandmother.

The novel has been praised for its lightness of touch, simplicity of language, and expressiveness, while dealing indirectly with the theme of death. It has been translated into many languages, including Thomas Teal's admired English version. It has been described as Jansson's best book for adults. The work has been adapted for the stage in 2023, and as a film by Charlie McDowell starring Glenn Close in 2024.
