Lain varjolla: Romaani Perä-Pohjolasta

A rural northern household is reshaped when its elderly patriarch devotes himself to fervent religious preaching, leaving farmwork and stewardship neglected. The story follows his youngest son Perttu as he faces stalled prospects amid dwindling harvests, mounting debts, and a community whose revivalist fervor is fading and fragmenting. Daily scenes of labor, domestic strain, and a cautious courtship show how personal faith consoles some while undermining practical responsibilities for others. The narrative observes tensions between spiritual zeal and material survival, and how generational expectations and isolation complicate hopes for a more secure future.
