| Summary | "Iris Rukka" by Anni Swan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Iris, who grows up in a rural setting known as Metsäpirtissä under the care of her foster parents, Taneli and Sere, after losing her mother and being abandoned by her father. The novel explores themes of family, identity, and the transition from a simple country life to the complexities of urban society as Iris embarks on new adventures after receiving a school invitation from her wealthy relatives. At the start of the novel, we meet Iris, a spirited and lively girl, as she interacts with her surroundings on a breezy day at the lake. We see her playful nature with Taneli, her companion, as they retrieve fishing nets. The narrative quickly establishes Iris's bittersweet reality, detailing her upbringing in humble conditions and her longing for connection with her absent father. As the opening unfolds, we learn about her close bond with Sere, who has taken on the maternal role in her life. Despite the struggles they face, Iris's innocence and curiosity shine through, capturing a poignant moment as she transitions from her simple village life to the expectations and challenges of the city, foreshadowing the emotional journey she is about to undertake.
