Kallis Synnyinmaa
Maria Larsénin uusin teos, Kallis synnyinmaa, jatkaa siitä mihin hänen esikoisteoksensa Pielisen rannalla päättyy. Anne, kirjan päähenkilö, etsii paikkaansa elämässä 1950-60-lukujen Helsingissä. Seikkailu kiehtoo nuorta tyttöä ja Ruotsin työmarkkinat tarjoavat siihen mahdollisuuden. Mutta hotellisiivoojan tai ompelijan työ eivät anna sitä mitä hän elämältä odottaa. Ikävä Suomeen vaivaa, ja monien muiden tavoin Anne ei tiedä kummalla puolella Suomenlahtea hän viihtyy parhaiten.
