About This Book

Muistelukerronta piirtää kuvan elämästä syrjäisellä kartanolla: arjen töistä, puutarhan ja talon yksityiskohdista sekä perheen menetyksistä ja uusista vastuista. Tarina seuraa hoivavelvoitteen ottamista nuoresta huollettavasta, tämän lähtöä ja seurauksia, sekä kotipaikan ja kaupunkielämän vaiheita, sairauksia, erehdyksiä ja yhtymisiä. Episodisissa luvuissa paljastuvat ystävyyden muodot, uskonnollinen pohdinta ja armeliaisuuden käytännöt, jotka kuljettavat kertojan kohti sovintoa, kotiinpaluita ja uudenlaista rauhaa.
