Debut Authors Laura Sola and Riikka Uljas

What connects a lottery winner from Pori and an Austrian who found herself in Pirkanmaa? Or perhaps nothing at all?

"A Dog Dies on Page One Hundred" (2026) is the story of a long-term unemployed woman from Pori who discovers her calling in liberating wealthy people from their days. "The Red Giant" (2026) explores reaching toward another and a youthful love whose aftershocks reverberate far - about beginnings and endings that interweave in every shade of grey.

Debut authors Laura Sola and Riikka Uljas from Tampere discuss the differences and similarities between their novels and their creative processes at the Central Library Oodi. Tammi publisher's editor Aino Hautala conducts the interview.
