Summary: "Downstream" by Sigfrid Siwertz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the complexities of childhood and family life against the backdrop of a decaying estate called Selambshof. Central to the story are the children Peter and Hedvig, who navigate their fears and the challenges posed by their family's unresolved past. The opening of the novel introduces us to the children’s dimly lit world, fraught with fears and misunderstandings. As Peter and Hedvig experience a harrowing evening filled with a mysterious cry from their mother's bedroom, it sets the tone for the underlying emotional struggle and haunting memories that shape their lives. The presence of an old storyteller, Kristin, weaves together ghostly tales from their family's history, which further entangles the children in a web of fear and superstition. As the narrative unfolds, the impact of their mother's illness and the looming shadows of family legacy begin to emerge, hinting at deeper themes of loss and survival within the children's lives.
