“You could describe Meritta Koivisto’s historical novel The Vienna Sketchbook, first published in 2017, as a forgotten gem. (…) Koivisto carries the story along at a rapid pace, but keeps the tension right to the end. (…) She uses very small tools to say something unbelievably large about how war can change a person.”
