What is the best-known book set in Finland?

See note on methodologyNo prizes for guessing which author dominates the Finnish lists on both LibraryThing and Goodreads. Famous for her children's fantasy novels about anthropomorphic creatures living almost human lives (apart from hibernation), I've been very glad to discover some of her work for adults which has been getting into English

This is the first time I've clicked for the enjoyment of seeing the titles, rather than discovering them.

When we leave out books set mostly in Estonia, like ones by Sofi Oksanen, I would have guessed Arto Paasilinna. Even if I am not fan of "The Year of the Hare", that is available in English, I preferred "The Forest of the Hanged Foxes" and "A Charming Mass Suicide"
