The Summer Book DVD

Nine-year-old Sophia (Emily Matthews) spends the summers at her family’s seasonal home on a tranquil isle in the Gulf of Finland, but this will be the first summer without her mother. Young Sophia comes into her own while exploring the wonders of the natural world on the island alongside her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) and grandmother (Glenn Close). Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel and anchored by Glenn Close’s powerful performance, The Summer Book is a delicate account of growing up and growing old.
