Pre-order The Finnish Girl now!

April 1, 2016 by Helena Halme Leave a Comment

Yay, it’s nearly out!

My latest book, The Finnish Girl, a prequel novella to The Englishman, will be published on 15th April and is now available to pre-order.

This novella, just as The Englishman, is based on true events, and was very hard for me to write. But I felt compelled to revisit those early years in Finland, before I met my Englishman and moved to the UK. Although The Finnish Girl is a fictionalised account of the time, I still feel very connected to the story and find parts of it very painful. Those of you who are not authors will wonder at this compulsion to revisit difficult periods in one’s life, but it is what we writers do. Especially if we are of the Scandinavian persuasion. 😉

The Kindle version of  The Finnish Girl will be out 15th April, but you can pre-order the book now.

Read on to find out more.

The Finnish GirlMidsummer in Finland is a magical time …

Kaisa is 15 and the new girl in town again.

When a messy divorce forces Kaisa’s mother to move to a small flat in an island suburb of Helsinki, Kaisa isn’t looking forward to another new school. But soon she meets Vappu and begins to spend time in her large, chaotic house.

Kaisa doesn’t know a friend of Vappu’s brother, a serious boy called Matti, is quietly observing her.

Matti loves Kaisa at first sight, but he is 22, seven years older than her.

Is she too young to fall in love?

A standalone read, The Finnish Girl is a prequel to the 1980s’ romance, The Englishman. Both books are based on true events.

The Finnish Girl, a Nordic romance, will be out April 15th 2016.
