People in the Summer Night (Ihmiset suviyössä)
The novel is very nicely arranged with vignettes from lives of the characters over the course of a few summer nights (from the land of midnight sun). The description of the nature is almost lyrical and stunningly beautiful. I read this book from the library, and liked it so much that I didn't rest till I managed to buy myself an old copy of this rare book at a very high price from an used book seller. It is definitely worth the read.

The Maid Silja (Nuorena nukkunut)
A very moody and touching book, that captures the spirit of a now gone time.
