About This Book

A young girl grows up in a rural Finnish community, occupying her days with simple play and household tasks. After her mother falls ill and dies she becomes an orphan and is taken into an aunt's smaller household, where chores, servants, neighbors and local customs govern daily life. The narrative attends to small domestic scenes, funeral rites and village talk while tracing the girl's grief, memories and slow adjustment, offering a close, unsentimental portrait of resilience and the rhythms of peasant life.
