Oskar Lutsu kuulsa Paunvere-sarja kolmas osa. Lood, mis selles raamatus on Eesti kinovaatajatele tuttavad, sest kui esimene pool raamatust on kandvaks osaks filmile «Suvi», siis tagumine pool filmile «Sügis». Käesolev trükk on võimalikult Lutsu algteksti järgiv. Oluliseks täienduseks on Krista Simsoni illustratsioonid.

Saatus viis nad pika aja järel uuesti kokku. Mõlemale olid möödunud aastad täis purunenud lootusi ja pettumusi, igatsust selle järele, mis kunagi päikeselistel augustipäevadel kauge Vermonti järve kaldal nende südames tärkas.Nüüd, aastaid hiljem tuleb neil riskida, et pärast kõiki katsumusi täiel rinnal tunnetada uuesti leitud armastuse ilu ja jõudu.

2001. aastal ilmus Jaan Krossi viimane romaan «Tahtamaa», mis räägib maa tagastamisest õigusjärgsele omanikule 1990. aastate alguses ja erineb Krossi teistest romaanidest selle poolest, et see ei põhine mitte ajaloolisel uurimustööl, vaid inimkogemusel. Enne «Tahtamaad» kirjutas Kross 1990. aastatel veel viis romaani: «Väljakaevamised» (1990), «Tabamatus» (1993), «Mesmeri ring» (1995) ja «Paigallend» (1998).
