Despite his studies, Mikael does not learn that trolls exude pheromones that smell like a Calvin Klein aftershave and that this has a profound aphrodisiac effect on all those around him. The first thing Mikael does is research everything he can about trolls from the internet, from folklore, nature journals and newspaper cuttings. Mikael gives the troll a name, Pessi, and takes him home and hides him. Supposedly extinct, today it is regarded as a hairy, cuddly toy by Nordic children. And it is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. It is a young troll, familiar from Scandinavian mythology: a demonic, wild beast. Mikael, a young gay photographer, finds in the courtyard of his apartment block a small, man-like creature. The international fantasy bestseller (published in the U.S as Troll- a Love Story) and a winner of the Finlandia Prize, published in 19 territories!
