Summary: "The Soul of a Child" by Edwin Björkman is a novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a young boy named Keith, exploring his formative years and emotional experiences within a modest household in Stockholm. The book delves into themes of familial dynamics, childhood wonder, and the contrast between innocence and the harsher realities of life. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Keith's environment—a cramped flat filled with the complexities of his family life, particularly the influences of his loving but anxious mother, stern father, and indulgent grandmother. As Keith navigates his world, his childhood memories unfold, revealing his nascent self-awareness, curiosity about the outside world, and the burgeoning understanding of social hierarchies. The family dynamics, underscored by his mother's illnesses and father's sternness, set the tone for his reflections on love, fear, and the desire for freedom, alongside moments of joy and curiosity about life beyond his immediate surroundings.
