About This Book

Kokoelma lyhyitä kertomuksia kuvaa arkielämän ja kuoleman kohtaamisia tavallisten ihmisten piirissä. Yhdessä tarinassa ratavartijan vuosien huolenpito ja isänrakkaus johtavat traagiseen junaturmaan ja mielen järkkymiseen, toisessa perheen kuolinvuoteen äärellä avataan testamentti ja paljastuvat inhimilliset heikkoudet ja ahneus. Tekstit rakentuvat havainnoivien yksityiskohtien ja muistelujen varaan, käsittelevät syyllisyyttä, sosiaalisia siteitä ja kuoleman arkea kansanomaisella, realistisella otteella.
