Of Finnish Ways

This book by Aini Rajanen is a wonderful read for anyone interested in a brief look at the Finnish culture. Ms. Rajanen's point of view is quite entertaining and with a good sense of humor. From SISU to sauna (pronounced sow-na) to a few recipies I think this book is well worth reading. I heartily reccomend this title.

A somewhat humorous book that would make Finns proud.

This book, although somewhat dated, gives a perspective of Finland in an entertaining fashion in regards to Finland's history. I would reccomend this title to any person of Finnish lineage... Learn of our shared trait: SISU!

An excellent overview

I would especially recommend this book to those planning a trip to Finland. Raganen summarizes well the various aspects of Finnish culture and history. A somewhat informal tone makes "Of Finnish Ways" a fast read, but one that provides a fitting tribute to an exemplary, exceptional people, those whom the Russians call "The Unusual People."
