Roots, the warm-hearted hit of the season, gathers enthusiastic reviews

Miika Nousiainen’s warm-hearted feel-good novel Roots is on top again – the paperback edition has reached #1 status on the Finnish bestseller list of Finnish and foreign paperbacks. Hurrah!

Additionally, the readers are loving the story in Germany, where the novel was published by Nagel & Kimche two months ago: it is already in its second printing and the reviews are great:

“An amusing and thoughtful novel from Finland!” – Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany

“A quirky Nordic story that’s simply fun!“ – Brigitte Extra, Germany

“Quirky humor, a good story, a happy end. Reading is rarely as deliciously amusing while also educative about dental hygiene and public health.” – NDR Kultur, Germany

Roots has been published already in Dutch, Lithuanian, Swedish, German and very recently, Czech. The Hungarian and Italian editions are still underway. See below for a selection of foreign covers!
