About This Book

Kokoelma esittää kymmenen lyhyttä kertomusta, joissa paikallisen luonnon- ja historiallisseurueen jäsenet välähdyksittäin kertovat maakunnan vanhojen herraskartanoiden naisista, niiden kohtaloista ja suvun perinnöistä. Tarinat yhdistelevät romanttisia episodimaisia kertomuksia, suvunmuistoja ja paikallishistoriallisia huomautuksia, ja niissä korostuvat arkkitehtoniset muistomerkit, hautamuistomerkit ja topografiset kuvaukset. Kehyskertomukset ja niiden väliin liitetyt kommentit antavat kokonaisuudelle tutkivan, paikkasidonnaisen sävyn ja pohtivat menneisyyden vaikutusta nykyhetkeen.
