The book revolves around Olaus Mathiae Sirma, a native Sámi who became the first chaplain of Enontekiö, and explores themes of cultural clash between Sámi traditions and Christian beliefs during a time of significant social change. The narrative promises to delve into Sirma's complex character, illustrating his talents, struggles with alcoholism, and ultimately his role in the community. The opening of the story takes place in the aftermath of Christmas and the arrival of the new year, as the sun re-emerges after a long darkness in the remote Enontekiö region. It portrays a vibrant scene at the church hill where people bustle about, preparing for a market day filled with trade and festivities. Amidst this lively atmosphere, Olaus Sirma, often referred to as "herr' Vuolevi," interacts with townsfolk, revealing the dynamic tensions and humor surrounding his character. As he navigates the day filled with commerce, social gatherings, and alcohol, the village's traditional values and the pressures from the church and the local authorities begin to clash, setting the stage for deeper explorations of Sirma's life and the era's conflicts.
