Publisher's summary

Fair Play is a poignant portrayal of the intricacies of love and work through the lens of two women, both accomplished artists, whose intimate relationship defied societal norms.

Set against the backdrop of Helsinki and summers on their remote island paradise, Jansson weaves together the nuanced details of the women's creative lives, offering a rich tapestry of their daily routines, artistic process, and innermost thoughts.

Through the lens of their unique relationship, we witness a true example of progressive love, where generosity and respect are key to a beautiful and thriving partnership.

I could listen to Emma D’Arcy all day

Rich story with impeccable narration.

Initially, I only read this because it was read by Emma, who does such a lovely job, but I was happy to find the story itself was also engaging. A quick and pleasant listen.
