Wow!  This book is about memory and identity and language all mixed together.   During WWII a man is found near the exploded wreck of a Finnish gunboat.  He has total amnesia.  The doctor who treats him assumes for several reasons that he is Finnish and sends him to a friend in Finland hoping to retrieve his memory.  But he remains rootless, homeless,  language-less,  and lonely.                      >>>>MORE>>>>      >>>>BACKGROUND>>>>
