Finnish authors abroad
A life story needs to be rewritten when the author realizes the surprising reason for a lifetime of experiences: shyness, sensitivity, sensory overload, a feeling of always being an outsider. She revisits her childhood, the friendships and loves of her youth, and her motherhood and marriages.
Snellman gives a face to the experience of the highly sensitive person. It is never too late to discover the elephant in the room—nor the hummingbird, centaur, or cachalot.

“Surrendering is an invigorating, healing book.” — Etelä-Suomen Sanomat
“The subject may expose Anja Snellman to an even wider readership, who will enjoy this beautifully written book that is expressive but to the point.” — Hämeen Sanomat
“Snellman writes masterfully, as always. Interspersed between the chapters of the book, ‘The Dark One’, a poem by Eino Leino, works beautifully.” — Ilta-Sanomat
