Summary "Ihanteen kaipuu" by Hilda Pylkkänen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative appears to explore the life and emotions of a young Finnish woman, Saimi af Ek, who grapples with feelings of loneliness and cultural displacement after marrying into a Swedish-speaking family in Finland. The opening sets a vivid scene of the Finnish landscape, contrasting the serene beauty of nature with Saimi's inner turmoil and longing for her homeland. At the start of the novel, Saimi is introduced as a talented and athletic young woman, living in a picturesque estate amid a harsh winter. While she sings traditional Finnish songs, her heart is heavy with nostalgia for her native Savonia, where her roots lie. The narrative reveals the complexities of her marriage to Nils af Ek, a man of Swedish descent, and the cultural divides that pose challenges in their relationship. As Saimi reflects on her past and the differences between her upbringing and her current situation, layers of melancholy and longing unfold, hinting at the conflicts and developments that will shape their life together.
