About This Book

Kertomus alkaa yksityiskohtaisella aamiaiskohtauksella varakkaassa perheessä, jossa esitellään hajamielinen patriarkka, kotia pitävä vanhin tytär ja lapsiperheen päivärutiinit. Keskeinen huomio kohdistuu elinvoimaiseen nuoreen naiseen, jonka fyysinen vireys ja huoliteltu olemus erottuvat perheen muodollisuudesta. Intiimien kotikohtausten ja tarkkojen luonnehdintojen kautta tarina tarkastelee arjen rituaaleja, vastuuntunnon ja itsenäisyyden välisiä jännitteitä sekä murrosiän epävarmuutta. Episodimaiset tilanteet paljastavat nuoruuden kaipuun, perhesiteiden vaikutuksen ja sosiaalisten odotusten painon.
