The story centers around themes of childhood, growing up, and the transition from the simplicity of rural life to the complexities of social expectations and inner emotions, particularly through the lens of its main character, Eevi, as she navigates her feelings and future aspirations amid changing environments and relationships. The opening of the novel sets a pastoral scene, portraying the beauty of summer arriving suddenly after a long wait, as the landscape and characters come alive with nature's fullness. We are introduced to two young boys, Erkki and another unnamed boy, who are enjoying the summer day by playing and interacting with the household staff. As they engage in innocent banter and play, the adults around them discuss the arrival of guests, hinting at social dynamics that will be developed further in the story. This introductory chapter establishes a peaceful yet vibrant rural setting, creating an atmosphere ripe for exploration of personal connections, the joy of childhood, and the looming changes that come with growing up.
