Summary: "Koneiden ääressä: Romaani" by Mikko Tervas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story portrays the lives of a rural family as they transition from their farm life to the complexities of living in a growing urban environment. Central characters include Jaakko, Anna-Kaisa, and their children, who grapple with the challenges of change, dreams, and emotional ties as they navigate a new landscape filled with both hope and uncertainty. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Niemelä family living in a humble torppa (farm cottage) amid the harsh winter elements. We witness Anna-Kaisa’s concerns for her family as they prepare for the day and await the return of Jaakko, who has gone to gather hay. The warmth of their home contrasts with the coldness outside, illustrating the challenges of rural life. Soon, we learn that Jaakko has received news that they must leave their home, stirring emotions of nostalgia and fear about the uncertainty that lies ahead. With discussions of moving to the city, the family faces the upheaval that comes with leaving behind their familiar life and the bittersweet memories attached to their home.
