Oscar loves fashion. He sees the world in colours, textures and
patterns that can all be turned into a dress or a high couture fashion piece.
He always dreamed of designing heavenly cloths but despite him being a prodigy,
his own self-doubt consumes him and paralyses his creativity.
After suffering
from a long period of unemployment, and destructive thoughts, Oscar finds
himself in the possession of a magical machine called The Sampo that makes any
dress glow. And so his journey of frantic designing, sketching and obsession
starts mixed with love, friendship, fear and determination.
Despite a slow start the plot pick up the pace in mid story and it
is filled with disturbing events. The epilogue is very interesting because it
brings a different point of view other than Oscar's diary but his friend’s Ben
rational letter does little to settle the unnerving question: Is the Sampo
real? Also, what happened to the red scarf?
If you like fashion, magic, and a
struggling protagonist, this is the novel for you.
