The rest of the novel explores, though it does not exactly tell, the history of the Tabernacle.

The unnamed city of Dona Quixote (which may be Helsinki?) and the titular Tainaron are the real foci of those two books. She writes more about places than characters, but what she writes are not travelogues but novels. Finnish writer Leena Krohn is sui generis. ![]()
