Circling the Sun, Laurie Tümer

Thingumy and Bob’s original names in Swedish, Tofslan and Vifslan, match the names Tove and Vivica, and it’s actually the nicknames Tove used for her and Vivica in her letters. Thingumy and Bob speak a language of their own with the same wording that Tove and Vivica used in their letters. They carry a big secret, the ravishing King’s Ruby, which radiates a red light out into the universe. It’s not far-fetched to read the story as an allegory of Tove’s and Vivica’s forbidden love.
