| Summary | "Työn kourissa: Romaani" by Selma Anttila is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work dives into the lives of its main characters, particularly the blacksmith Henriksson and his young wife Ulla, as they navigate their daily struggles, aspirations, and family dynamics in a rural setting. The narrative explores themes of work ethic, community, and the complexities of marital relationships against the backdrop of post-war Finland. The opening of the story introduces us to Seppä Henriksson, a hardworking blacksmith who is in the process of building a new home after purchasing a house from a tailor in the village. His wife, Ulla, is portrayed as a vibrant and industrious woman who brings joy with her singing, although her life is marred by Henriksson's increasing drinking habits during the festive season. The couple's dynamic is further complicated by their desire for a child, with Ulla secretly hoping for a son who would serve as a source of pride for Henriksson. As they struggle with their personal ambitions and the challenges of rural living, the arrival of a new neighbor, Henriika, adds a layer of complexity to their lives, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in this richly woven narrative.
