Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Salliman oikkuja" by Santeri Alkio is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the struggles of a rural family as they face an unexpected disaster, depicted through the experiences of Heistrokin Liisa and her family. The novel explores themes of hardship, community support, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. At the start of the narrative, we meet Heistrokin Liisa as she braves the cold on a journey and becomes aware of a fire in her village. Initially consumed by fear for her home and children, Liisa's despair is eased when she learns the fire threatens a neighbor's dilapidated dwelling instead of her own. As the fire unfolds, the community gathers to witness the event, displaying a mix of indifference and morbid curiosity regarding the loss of the neighbor's home. The opening sets a tone of desperation interlaced with hints of dark humor and a critique of social attitudes towards misfortune, compelling the reader to consider the dynamics of village life in the face of disaster.
