Bibliography
2010, After Winter, Light
"Its hard hitting dialogue and fast storyline make this novel enjoyable to read. The flashbacks and the characters’ personal ruminations enable the reader to linger on the text."
- Kymen Sanomat
"Posti writes cleverly and never loses her way, despite the size of the novel. She therefore achieves the status of a professional with her first attempt."
- Helsingin Sanomat
"It is a pleasure to read a good first novel, such as Piia Posti’s After the Winter Light (orig. Talven jälkeen valo). Posti’s langauge is delicate, yet hard-hitting. She builds up the structure of the novel cleverly. I also admire her way of describing emotions."
