Changes

Overall, I enjoyed Summerland. The story moves at a good pace and Rajaniemi has delivered the tone and style of a 1930's thriller with a modern voice. There is a wealth of detail here which conjures up an evocative world of espionage and political intrigue. Where Summerland departs from the spy thrillers of old is in Rajaniemi's skillful construction of an active afterlife, with the dead keeping tight hold on the living. He has carefully constructed a world which is believable and thus rather terrifying. This is not a run of the mill tale of rogue agents, secrets and danger but instead uses this narrative framework as a guide to explore the deeper secrets of the human heart and the power of our own mortality.
